  2. CD4+/CD8+ ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD4+/CD8+_ratio

    The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio is the ratio of T helper cells (with the surface marker CD4) to cytotoxic T cells (with the surface marker CD8). Both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells contain several subsets. [1] The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio in the peripheral blood of healthy adults and mice is about 2:1, and an altered ratio can indicate diseases relating to ...

  3. T helper cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell

    Their key effector cytokine is IL-10. Their main effector cells are NK cells as well as CD8 T cells, IgG B cells, and IL-10 CD4 T cells. The key THαβ transcription factors are STAT1 and STAT3 as well as IRFs. IL-10 from CD4 T cells activate NK cells' ADCC to apoptose virus-infected cells and to induce host as well as viral DNA fragmentation ...

  4. Pneumonitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonitis

    Clinical tests include chest radiography or (HRCT) which may show centrilobular nodular and ground-glass opacities with air-trapping in the middle and upper lobes of the lungs. Fibrosis may also be evident. Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) findings coinciding with pneumonitis typically include a lymphocytosis with a low CD4:CD8 ratio. [7] [13]

  5. Inflammatory cytokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_cytokine

    An inflammatory cytokine or proinflammatory cytokine is a type of signaling molecule ... Both CD4 + and CD8 IL-17 producing T cells have been shown to cause aTH1, ...

  6. Helper/suppressor ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helper/suppressor_ratio

    Normal values (95% confidence intervals) are approximately 30-60% CD4 and 10-30% CD8 depending on age (ratio 0.9 to 3.7 in adults). [1] One reason for abnormal results is the loss of CD4-positive cells to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The loss of CD4-positive cells to HIV infection can result in various distortions in the ...

  7. Diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_infiltrative_lymph...

    This persistent CD8+ T cell expansion occurs in the setting of a low CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio and ultimately invades and destroys tissues and organs resulting in the various complications of DILS.

  8. Cell-mediated immunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-mediated_immunity

    It is also responsible for inflammation and autoimmunity with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease all being implicated in type 1 immunity. Type 1 immunity consists of these cells: [5] CD4+ T H 1 cells; CD8 + cytotoxic T cells (T c 1) T-Bet + interferon gamma producing group 1 ILCs(ILC1 and ...

  9. Naive T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naive_T_cell

    Among these are the naive forms of helper T cells (CD4 +) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8 +). Naive T cells, unlike activated or memory T cells, have not encountered its cognate antigen within the periphery. After this encounter, the naive T cell is considered a mature T cell.
