Th2 responses predominate during the early phases of infection in patients with localized cutaneous leishmaniasis and precede the development of Th1 responses.

چکیده
Intralesional Th2 responses preceded the development of Th1 responses in localized cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania guyanensis. Although the number of parasites increased in Th2 lesions, no correlation was found between the levels of cytokine expression and the number of parasites. In contrast, the decreased number of parasites in Th1 lesions is negatively correlated to gamma interferon expression.

Comparison of Th1 and Th2 Responses in Non-Healing and Healing Patients with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in many regions of Iran, including the city of Mashhad. In recent years, some cases have not responded to Glucantime, the usual treatment for this disease. The cellular immune response caused by T-helper type 1 (Th1) cells has an important role in protection against leishmaniasis, and activation of the T-helper type 2 (Th2) response caus...
متن کاملA Historic Review of the Role of CD4+ T-Cell Subsets in Development of the Immune Responses against Cutaneous and Visceral Leishmaniases
The heterogeneity of CD4+ T cells has been investigated since the late 1970s, when their Th1 and Th2 subsets were coined. Later studies on the cutaneous form of the Leishmaniasis were focused on the experimental models of Leishmania major infection using the susceptible BALB/c and the resistant C57BL/6 mice. At the early 21st century, the regulatory T-cells subpopulation was introduced and its ...
متن کاملStudy of the ratio of Treg/Th1 and Treg/Th2 lymphocytes in Hodgkin's lymphoma patients and its relationship with disease prognosis
Background and purpose: CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Tregs) are a group of T lymphocytes that play an important role in regulating immune system responses by suppressing the activity of other T cells and establishing homeostasis in the immune system. Th1 and Th2 cells are other groups of CD4+ cells that play important functions in inducing inflammatory immune responses. C...
متن کاملمقایسه سطح سیتوکاین های IL-5، IL-10، IL-12 و IL-18 مترشحه از سلول های PBMC در بیماران مبتلا به لیشمانیوز پوستی بهبود یابنده و غیر بهبود یابنده
Introduction & Objective: Leishmaniasis is a major worldwide health problem throughout the world and in Iran as well. Skin lesions are mostly healing but nonhealing cases have also increased recently. T-helper type1 (Th1) responses induction helps the patients to resist against the disease while T-helper type2 (Th2) responses cause susceptibility to disease. With the assessment of IL-5, IL-10...
متن کاملAn NLRP3 inflammasome-triggered Th2-biased adaptive immune response promotes leishmaniasis.
Leishmaniasis is a major tropical disease that can present with cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral manifestation and affects millions of individuals, causing substantial morbidity and mortality in third-world countries. The development of a Th1-adaptive immune response is associated with resistance to developing Leishmania major (L. major) infection. Inflammasomes are key components of the i...
