Chediak-Higashi gene in humans. I. Impairment of natural - killer function
Natural-killer (NK)-cell function was profoundly depressed in donors homozygous for the Chediak-Steinbrinck-Higashi syndrome (C-HS) gene when compared with age- and sex-matched normals. This apparent defect was not simply a result of a delayed response because little cytolysis was evident in kinetics experiments even after 24 h of incubation. NK cells from C-HS donors failed to lyse adherent (M...
متن کاملChediak-Higashi gene in humans. II. The selectivity of the defect in natural- killer and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity function
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytolysis (ADCC) of human tumor cells by FcR(+) nonadherent effector lymphocytes as well as natural killer (NK) activity was markedly impaired in Chediak-Steinbrinck-Higashi Syndrome (C-HS) patients. Compared to a more than 400-fold defect in NK activity in terms of lytic units, the abnormal ADCC response in C-HS donors was 24-fold below normal suggesting a part...
متن کاملPlatelet function in the Chediak-Higashi syndrome.
Platelet function studies were performed on two patients with the Chediak-Higashi syndrome, one of whom had a history of easy bruising unrelated to thrombocytopenia. Both patients had prolonged bleeding times, abnormal platelet aggregation, and a defect of platelet storage granules, manifested by reduced platelet ADP, an increased ATP/ADP ratio, increased adenine nucleotide specific radioactivi...
