Enumeration of T cell subsets in atopic dermatitis using monoclonal antibodies

The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology

Abstract

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 22 patients with atopic dermatitis, 17 age-matched healthy controls, 10 patients with other skin diseases, and 14 patients with either asthma or allergic rhinitis were characterized by reactivity with monoclonal antibodies to the surface antigens of helper-inducer (T4) and suppressor-cytotoxic (T8) T cell subsets and to a common T cell antigen (T3). In contrast to healthy controls and controls with other skin diseases or respiratory allergic disease, patients with atopic dermatitis had a reduced percentage of T3-positive (T3+)cells (p less than 0.01) and T8-positive (T8+) cells (p less than 0.001) but not of T4-positive cells (T4+)op less than 0.05). A selective increase in the ratio of T4+ cells over T8+ cells was observed in 17 of 22 patients with atopic dermatitis but not in any of the controls. Thus there is a loss of circulating suppressor-cytoxic T cells in the majority of patients with active atopic dermatitis.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.
