behcet disease (bd) is a systemic inflammatory disease of the unknown etiology. there is however, some evidence to suggest that immunological abnormalities are important in its pathogenesis, furthermore several t-cell abnormalities which may be quite relevant to autoimmune origin of the disease have been described. we report here our study of t-cell subsets, b and nk cells in 68 patients with b...

Unter dem Begriff der kutanen T-Zell-Lymphome (CTCL) wird eine Gruppe lymphoproliferativer Erkrankungen zusammengefasst, die durch Lokalisation neoplastischer T-Lymphozyten in Haut gekennzeichnet sind. Die Mycosis fungoides (MF) ist häufigste Form von CTCL; sie macht ∼60 % aller primären Lymphome aus. Neben klassischen MF sind zahlreiche klinische und histopathologische Varianten beschrieben wo...

background: determination of the division history of t cells in vitro is helpful in the study of effector mechanisms against infections. technique described here uses the intracellular fluorescent label carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (cfse) to monitor the proliferation. methods: in a cross sectional study, blood samples were collected from 7 volunteers with history of cutaneous...

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...

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell proliferative disorder with limited immunotherapy treatment because of T cell dysfunction. Objective: To investigate the immunomodulatory function of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MM-BMSCs) on CD8+ T cells. Methods: Proliferation and cytotoxicity were detected by c...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of anti-Fas ribozyme on the apoptosis of T lymphocytes (T cells) in mice model with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and Methods: Male 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the COPD model by exposure to cigarette smoke. The COPD mice were sacrificed for spleen dissection and T cell isolation. T cell...
