Subset distribution, ecto-5'nucleotidase (5'NT) activity, and the generation of allospecific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were investigated in peripheral blood T lymphocytes from 39 hemophilia A patients divided into three groups: group A and group B (HIV-patients with CD4:CD8 ratio less than 1 and greater than 1 respectively), and group C (HIV + patients). 5'NT activity was significantly decreased compared with healthy controls in groups B and C. In group B, this deficiency was attributable to expansion of CD8 + CD11 + suppressor cells. In group C, activated (HLA-DR+) CD8+ cells were also present and contributed to 5'NT deficiency. The suppressor cell expansion seemed to be mainly related to AHF infusions, whereas HLA-DR expression was related to HIV infection. CD11+ and HLA-DR+ cells were also expanded in the CD4+ subpopulation of all three groups, whereas CD4+ CD28+ lymphocytes were significantly decreased in group C only. Lastly, alloreactive cytotoxicity was decreased in group B and was normal in groups A and C.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

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.

D020162 Hyperargininemia A rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle. It is caused by a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme ARGINASE. Arginine is elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and periodic HYPERAMMONEMIA may occur. Disease onset is usually in infancy or early childhood. Clinical manifestations include seizures, microcephaly, progressive mental impairment, hypotonia, ataxia, spastic diplegia, and quadriparesis.
