T-lymphocyte subsets in experimental autoimmune uveitis. 1985

C C Chan, and M Mochizuki, and R B Nussenblatt, and A G Palestine, and C McAllister, and I Gery, and D BenEzra

The dynamic changes of the lymphocyte subsets in the inflamed ocular tissue in Lewis rats with experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) were studied by immunohistopathological evaluation at varying intervals after initiation of the disease. Monoclonal antibodies to specific markers of the rat T-helper/inducer lymphocyte (W3/25) and T-suppressor/cytotoxic lymphocyte (OX-8) were used in the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) method. During the early stages of the disease following the acute inflammatory reaction, the T-helper/inducer lymphocytes are found in larger numbers within the infiltrates, the relative number of the T-suppressor/cytotoxic cells is very low during the initial phases, with a ratio as low as 5 to 1. During the later stages, there is a continuous increase in the relative number of suppressor/cytotoxic cells that reaches the ratio of 1 to 1, or even 1 to 2. It is postulated that the observed changes in the ratios between T-helper/inducer and T-suppressor/cytotoxic cells during the different stages of EAU may reflect the kinetics and regulation of the inflammatory response in autoimmune diseases.

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D006940 Hyperemia The presence of an increased amount of blood in a body part or an organ leading to congestion or engorgement of blood vessels. Hyperemia can be due to increase of blood flow into the area (active or arterial), or due to obstruction of outflow of blood from the area (passive or venous).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
