Function of T cell subset in cell-mediated immunity.

EVALUATION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN MUSTARD GAS INJURIES

Yamakido, et al. in 1986 have studied immunological parameters in poison gas workers, and a depression has been observed in immunologic response. Also, the frequency of cancer has reached as high as five-fold that of the general population. In the present study, cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was measured in three groups of Iranian mustard gas-injured patients. The first group were those wh...

A SURVEY OF CELLULAR IMMUNITY, TOTAL T-LYMPHOCYTE, T-ACTIVE , B-LYMPHOCYTE A ND T-CELL FUNCTION IN RELATION TO PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININ (PHA) IN THALASSEMIC PATIENTS

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immune system and lymphocyte function in 41 Iranian β-thalassemic patients and 50 controls, ages ranging from 2 to 18 years. The patients consisted of 20 splenectomized and 21 non-splenectomized patients. They were treated with Desferal, and had received repeated blood transfusion. Laboratory investigations included measurement of total T lymphocyt...

EVA LUATION OF THE ROLE OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN DERMATOPHYTOSIS

For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...

Evaluation of Cell Mediated Immunity following Rubella Vaccination Using Lymphocyte Proliferation

Background and Aims: Rubella is predominantly a childhood disease that is endemic throughout the world and when rubella outbreaks occur, they are accompanied by birth defects following congenital rubella syndrome. Immunity to rubella virus as a teratogenic agent has an important role for prevention of these serious congenital defects. Lymphocyte proliferation assay is a way for investigation of...
