Since previous studies have shown that circulating T cytotoxic/suppressor cells and natural killer cells are reduced in alopecia areata (AA), we attempted to find further imbalances in mononuclear cells by double labeling with these and additional monoclonal antibodies. In all, the blood of 35 patients and 44 controls was examined using the combinations anti-Leu 3a/8, Leu 2a/8, Leu 2a/15, Leu 7/15 and Leu 7/11a. We found a highly significant reduction of the subpopulation Leu 2a+8+ (p less than 0.008). The results show that patients with AA have additional abnormalities of the circulating mononuclear cells, whereby the reduced Leu 2a+8+ subpopulation represents a new additional marker.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
