Subpopulations of human T lymphocytes in patients with Hodgkin's disease before and after treatment. 1982

A A Karande, and B Gulwani, and S H Advani, and S G Gangal

Circulating T gamma and T mu cells enumerated in the peripheral blood of 51 untreated Hodgkin's disease (HD) patients and 66 treated HD patients tested after few months to more than 3 years of remission, brought about by radiation and/or chemotherapy. 53 age matched normal healthy individuals were studied as controls. Untreated HD patients showed significant increase in T gamma cells (p less than 0.001) and decrease in T mu cells (p less than 0.001) when compared to normal donors. The abnormal percentages of T cell subsets did not correlate with the severity of the disease. A progressive partial restoration in the proportion of these two subsets of T lymphocytes was seen in the disease free condition. However, even after 3 years of remission the recovery was not equivalent to controls. There was no correlation between the recovery of T gamma and T mu cells with the modality of treatment.

D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.

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
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.
