Cell-mediated immune responses and cytotoxicity to mycobacterial antigens in patients with tuberculous pleurisy in Brazil.
Evaluating human immune response to defined Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens in patients with different clinical forms of tuberculosis may help in elucidating pathogenesis and in vaccine development. In the present report we evaluated the lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine production and natural killer cell cytotoxicity as parameters to screen four mycobacterial recombinant antigens. Pleural...
متن کاملCell-mediated immune responses to complex and single mycobacterial antigens in tuberculosis patients with diabetes.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate cell-mediated immune (CMI) response in diabetic and non-diabetic tuberculosis (TB) patients and healthy subjects in response to complex, fractionated and single antigens of Mycobacteriumtuberculosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from patients suffering from pulmonary TB and type II diabetes (n = 7), pulmonary TB without dia...
متن کاملInflammatory Bowel Disease: Autoimmune or Immune-mediated Pathogenesis?
The pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is still unclear, but both autoimmune and immune-mediated phenomena are involved. Autoimmune phenomena include the presence of serum and mucosal autoantibodies against intestinal epithelial cells in either form of IBD, and against human tropomyosin fraction five selectiv...
متن کاملHumoral immune response against mycobacterial antigens in children with tuberculosis.
Different clinical outcomes of tuberculosis (TB) are related to the balance between cell-mediated and humoral immunity and may depend on environmental and individual factors including age and sex. The purpose of this study was to analyze the humoral immune response to recombinant and native mycobacterial antigens in relation to clinical presentations of pulmonary TB in children. We examined 224...
متن کاملExpanded Polyfunctional T Cell Response to Mycobacterial Antigens in TB Disease and Contraction Post-Treatment
BACKGROUND T cells producing multiple factors have been shown to be required for protection from disease progression in HIV but we have recently shown this not to be the case in TB. Subjects with active disease had a greater proportion of polyfunctional cells responding to ESAT-6/CFP-10 stimulation than their infected but non-diseased household contacts (HHC). We therefore wanted to assess this...
