Double-labelling immunofluorescence analysis within the CD4+ cell subset was carried out in 27 bronchoalveolar lavage fluids and 11 peripheral blood samples of sarcoidosis patients with anti-TQ1, anti-2H4 and anti-4B4 monoclonal antibodies. Helper/inducer CD4+TQ1-/4B4+ cells were strongly increased in the lung and slightly, but significantly, decreased in the blood of sarcoidosis patients with respect to normal controls. No differences were found in the number of both lung and blood CD4+2H4+ cells between sarcoidosis patients and controls. The findings are further evidence for a compartmentalization of T cell subsets in sarcoidosis.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011658 Pulmonary Fibrosis A process in which normal lung tissues are progressively replaced by FIBROBLASTS and COLLAGEN causing an irreversible loss of the ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream via PULMONARY ALVEOLI. Patients show progressive DYSPNEA finally resulting in death.

D000943 Antigens, Differentiation Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.

D012507 Sarcoidosis An idiopathic systemic inflammatory granulomatous disorder comprised of epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells with little necrosis. It usually invades the lungs with fibrosis and may also involve lymph nodes, skin, liver, spleen, eyes, phalangeal bones, and parotid glands.
