Lymphocyte subpopulations in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of multiple sclerosis patients in active disease. 1984

D Rukavina, and J Sepcić, and M Dorić, and P Ledić, and L Zaputović, and P Eberhardt

Lymphocyte subpopulations (total T cells, active T cells and B cells) were simultaneously analyzed in peripheral blood and CSF of MS patients. All patients were in active disease, 3 to 4 weeks after first signs of disease activation appeared. Per cent levels and absolute numbers of examined lymphocyte subpopulations in the blood of MS patients were significantly lower than in healthy controls. In MS, the level of active T lymphocytes was lower in CSF than in peripheral blood. The results support our earlier observations relating to the role of active T lymphocytes in the clinical course of disease.

D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

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.
