cd8 deficiency is a rare primary immunodeficiency with low or absent peripheral cd8 cells which results from tap deficiency, zap 70 deficiency and cd8 α gene mutation. we report a 14 year old female who presented with a history of recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis, otitis, severe varicella, herpetic lesions of mouth, bilateral uveitis, and cataract formation since the age of 8 years. she had ...

Background: CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes have been recently divided based on their cytokine expression profile. Objective: To evaluate the percentages of CD8+ lymphocytes and their effector subsets including Tc1, Tc2 and Tc17 in the tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) of patients with breast cancer. Methods: Single cell suspensions were obtained from TDLNs of 42 patients with breast cancer. Stai...

brucellosis is an infectious disease and it seems that it affects human immune system and can cause acute, subacute and chronic clinical features. forty patients suffering from chronic brucellosis were studied for cd3+, cd4+,cd8+, cd19+, cells and cd4+/cd8+ ratio by flow cytometry before and after treatment with antibiotics and immunopotentiators. the results were compared with 15 healthy contr...

Background: The aim of preliminary study was determined development process status of T-cell population lymphocytes in Ukrainian children after 22 years from Chernobyl accident for next feasibility study. Material and Method: 150 participants aged 6 to 16 years are included in three groups: Group I (n=65), 30 to 60 km from center accident at zone 3th, Group II (n=65) 60 to 90 km from s...

local inflammatory processes in the gastric mucosa are followed by extensive immune cell infiltration, resulting in chronic active gastritis characterized by a marked infiltration of t(h)1 cytokine-producing cd4+ and cd8+t-cells objective. to investigate the correlation between cd4+/cd8+ t-cells in gastric mucosa with endoscopic appearance in chronic gastritis with or without h.pylori infection...
