peripheral blood t lymphocytes and their subsets were studied in 31 patients with beta thalassemia major (age 2-12years) and compared with 14 age-arid sex-matched healthy controls. three monoclonal antibodies (anti-cd3, anti cd-f, unti-cds) were simultaneously applied for detection of th (cd3-, cd4^), tsk (cd3+, cd8+) and th/ts ratio by flow-cytometry respectively. the results of this study sho...

human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. a number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the t-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. in this study we found alterations in t...

Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic immune-mediated disorder caused by the dietary gluten in individuals who are genetically susceptible to the disease. In fact, CD is a T cell-mediated immune disease in which gluten-derived peptides activate the lamina propria CD4+ Teff cells, and these T-cell subsets can cause the intestinal tissue damages. Also, there are additional subsets of CD4+ T cells wit...

a central role for t cells and their cytokines in the pathogenesis of psoriasis has been proposed; however, there are controversies over the details of this issue. the goal of this study is to summarise currently available data on the importance of t cells in psoriasis pathogenesis. a  systematic  review  of  the  english  medical  literature  was  conducted  by  searching pubmed, embase, isi w...

Background: Euphorbia plants are traditionally used in folk medicine for infections, inflammation, and cancer. Objectives: To investigate the effects of the butanolic extracts of Euphorbia micorociadia and Euphorbia osyridea on specific transcription factors and cytokines expression of T cell subsets. Methods: Activated mouse splenocytes were cultured in the presence of non-cytotoxic concentrat...

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with the growth of endometrial cells out of uterus and in the peritoneal cavity. T cell subsets participate in the establishment and progress of the disease by producing different cytokines. Objective: To investigate a group of cytokines related to Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg subsets within both peripheral blood...
