Immunopathological Aspects of Decidual Tissues in Women with First-Trimester Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Background/objective: Studies of the decidual leukocyte populations in women suffering from spontaneous early pregnancy loss may provide insight into immunpathological aspects and even cast light on the etiology of recurrent spontaneous abortion.Methods: In order to clarify the immunological role of endometrial leukocytes in repetitive abortion of unknown etiology, a comparative analysis of phe...
متن کاملSUSCEPTIBILITY OF HUMAN WM MELANOMA CELL LINES TO NK AND LAK CYTOTOXICITY AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE LEVEL OF MHC CLASS I AND ICAM-l ANTIGEN EXPRESSION
The effect of natural killer (NK) cells and lymphokine activated killer ( LAK) cells was studied on a group of human melanoma cell lines. Peripheral blood from healthy volunteers was utilized as a fresh source of natural killer cells and rhI L-2 for producing LAK cells. The cytotoxicity of effector cells was quantified using a 4 hour SI determining the density of antigen expression on tumor...
متن کاملNK, NKT and Invariant-NKT Cells in Tumor Draining Lymph Nodes of Patients with Breast Cancer
Background: NK (natural killer) and NKT (natural killer T) cells, as components of innate immune system, play a crucial role in tumor progression and dissemination. Objective: To investigate the percentages of NK cells, NKT cells, iNKT (invariant natural killer T) cells, total T lymphocytes as well as activated T lymphocytes, in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLN...
متن کاملجدا سازی و تخلیص زیر مجموعه های سلول های کشنده طبیعی با استفاده از مایع رویی کشت سلول های تک هسته ای به کمک PHA و ارزیابی قدرت کشندگی آنها
Natural Killer (NK) cells are the main lymphocyte population expressing P75 B chain of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R). Consequently, incubation of peripheral blood lymphocytes with IL-2 induce selective activation of NK cells and results in NK activity and generation of Lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells activity and proliferation. One of the early events during IL-2 activation of peripheral bl...
متن کاملThe Influence of Perforin Expression on the Sensitivity of LAK/NK Killing Against Various Tumor Target Cells
Background: Perforin is known to be important in cytolytic activity mediated by natural killer (NK) cells. Objective: To study the relationship between the efficiency of NK and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells activity, and the expression of perforin and HLA class I molecules. Methods: LAK cells were generated by in vitro culturing of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in the ...
متن کاملThe Assessment of NK Cytotoxicity and CD56+/CD16+ Phenotype by Flowcytometry in PBL Isolated from Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Background: Human peripheral blood NK cells constitutively express CD56 and CD16 antigens. Peripheral blood NK cells seem to be strongly related with decidual NK cells, and may reflect the decidual NK cell functional status. There are varied reports concerning the relationship between NK cell cytotoxicity in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Objective: To study NK activity in women wit...
