The monitoring of T-lymphocyte subsets of recipients of organ grafts enables studies on immune reconstitution (after bone-marrow transplantation) and may predict graft rejection (after kidney transplantation). Quantitation of human peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets from healthy volunteers and from recipients of a bone-marrow graft by a complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assay, based on the use of propidium iodide, and by an indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique has been compared using the monoclonal antibodies OKT3, OKT4 and OKT8. Except for OKT3 in healthy individuals--for which no significant difference was found between CDC and IIF--CDC detected significantly more cells of each subset than IIF. Furthermore, the CDC results indicated the presence of low numbers of OKT4+8+ cells in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals and--with higher numbers--following marrow transplantation. Results of depletion experiments, obtained by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) for either OKT4 or OKT8, supported this conclusion. OKT4/OKT8 ratios were calculated from enumerations by the CDC assay and by the IIF assay and found to be linearly related, both in healthy persons and in marrow-graft recipients. Thus, the CDC assay is a reliable method for monitoring T-cell subsets, allowing detection of lymphocytes carrying low densities of membrane determinants.

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.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

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.
