T lymphocyte subpopulations in progressive systemic sclerosis defined by monoclonal antibodies. 1985

L Czirják, and P Surányi, and K Dankó, and G Szegedi

Twenty two patients with progressive systemic sclerosis were studied by monoclonal antibodies to detect OKT4 and OKT8 positive cells. The absolute number of OKT4 and OKT8 cells was not altered as compared to control values. The ratio of T4/T8 cells slightly increased without statistical significance. The number of E-rosette forming T-cells was reduced in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis. Six months later 11 patients were reinvestigated, and similar results were obtained for the T-cell subsets and the ratio of T4/T8 positive cells. Individual data showed marked variability in the two periods of investigation without however, any correlation to the clinical findings. The sclerodermic patients had a long disease duration and showed no immunoregulatory T-cell imbalance.

This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D000911 Antibodies, Monoclonal Antibodies produced by a single clone of cells. Monoclonal Antibodies,Monoclonal Antibody,Antibody, Monoclonal
D012397 Rosette Formation The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells. Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
D012595 Scleroderma, Systemic A chronic multi-system disorder of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. It is characterized by SCLEROSIS in the SKIN, the LUNGS, the HEART, the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, the KIDNEYS, and the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM. Other important features include diseased small BLOOD VESSELS and AUTOANTIBODIES. The disorder is named for its most prominent feature (hard skin), and classified into subsets by the extent of skin thickening: LIMITED SCLERODERMA and DIFFUSE SCLERODERMA.

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.
