Cellular immune response following thermal injury in human patients. 1986

S Mistry, and N P Mistry, and S Arora, and N H Antia

Cellular immune response was studied longitudinally for a period of 1 month in a group of 51 patients sustaining burns between 20 and 55 per cent of their body surface area. The results indicated lymphocytopenia and significant depression in the total T cells in all the patients. T cells showed a significant rise in their levels in those patients who showed clinical improvement. Further, the loss of expression of 'E' receptor correlated with the lowering of the protein-synthesizing capacity of the mononuclear cells. The functional integrity of the lymphocytes also showed an inability to recognize and stimulate normal alloantigens in an MLR reaction. Investigation of the mechanisms responsible for immunosuppression revealed the generation of T suppressor activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
