Demonstration in situ of subsets of T-lymphocytes in sarcoidosis. 1984

R L Modlin, and F M Hofman, and O P Sharma, and B Gottlieb, and C R Taylor, and T H Rea

Five biopsy specimens of skin, four of lung, and one of a lymph node were taken from nine patients with sarcoidosis. Monoclonal antibodies were applied to frozen sections of the specimens by an immunoperoxidase technique to test for the presence and distribution of subsets of T-lymphocytes. T-cells expressing the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype were found predominantly in lymphocytic mantles surrounding sarcoidal granulomas, whereas cells displaying the helper/inducer phenotype were distributed diffusely throughout granulomas. The ratio of helper to suppressor phenotypes in cutaneous sarcoidosis was 5.1 +/- 1.8. The microanatomic location of subpopulations of T-lymphocytes may be important in the pathogenesis of the granulomatous response of sarcoidosis.

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.
