background: lymphocyte subsets enumeration is considered prominent in the management of primary and acquired immunodeficiency disorders. because of local variations due to race, age, gender, and environmental conditions on lymphocyte subsets, and to improve the accuracy of interpretation of laboratory findings, reference intervals must be determined in every population. objective: to establish ...

background: the appendix is considered as part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue; however, lymphocyte subsets in this tissue are not fully defined. objective: to investigate and compare the function and phenotype of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood and appendix of patients with normal and inflamed appendix tissues. methods: peripheral blood samples and appendiceal mononuclear cells we...

We present two masked priming lexical decision experiments in which we examined whether a nonword prime word would activate associative/semantic information from its corresponding addition neighbor (e.g., lght-dark via the addition neighbor light), producing associative/semantic priming. The rationale was the following: If a nonword prime with a missing letter produced a semantic/associative pr...

Background: Lymphocyte subsets enumeration is considered prominent in the management of primary and acquired immunodeficiency disorders. Because of local variations due to race, age, gender, and environmental conditions on lymphocyte subsets, and to improve the accuracy of interpretation of laboratory findings, reference intervals must be determined in every population. Objective: To establish ...

background: although the pathogenesis of diabetes type 1 (t1d) is not fully elucidated. different clusters of lymphocytes such as cd4+ and cd8+ t cells are involved in it. moreover, the mechanism of how stem-cell therapy results in significant therapeutic outcomes in diabetes remains obscure. in the current study, we aimed to analyze lymphocyte subsets in patients with t1d before and after trea...

Background: Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, as essential parts of the adaptive immune system, play pivotal roles in anti-tumor immune responses. It is well documented that cytokine expression profiles and activation status of these cells during anti-tumor immune responses affect the outcome of host-tumor interaction. Objective: To investigate the percentages of CD8+ lymphocytes and their subsets in...

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the artery wall. Atherosclerotic lesions contain monocytes, macrophages, smooth muscle cells and T lymphocytes. Here, we review the role of T-lymphocyte subsets in atherosclerosis. Among CD4⁺T cells, T(h)1 cells are pro-atherogenic, T(reg) cells are athero-protective and the role of T(h)2 and T(h)17 cells remains unclear. The role of follicul...
