Image of CD4 co-receptor binding to MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) non-polymorphic region. In molecular biology, CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor (TCR). CD4 is found on the surface of immune cells such as helper T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
A congenital disorder of glycosylation (previously called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome) is one of several rare inborn errors of metabolism in which glycosylation of a variety of tissue proteins and/or lipids is deficient or defective. Congenital disorders of glycosylation are sometimes known as CDG syndromes.
An inverted CD4 + /CD8 + ratio (namely, less than 1/1) indicates an impaired immune system. [3] [4] [5] Conversely, an increased CD4 + /CD8 + ratio corresponds to increased immune function. [6] Obesity and dysregulated lipid metabolism in the liver leads to loss of CD4 +, but not CD8 + cells, contributing to the induction of liver cancer. [7]
The depletion of CD4 T cells and the development of chronic inflammation are signature processes in HIV pathogenesis that propel progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). CD4 T cell depleted to the cell count of less than 200cell/μL in blood during AIDS allows various pathogens to escape T cell recognition, thus allowing ...
The Glycoprotein Ib/V/IX complex is essential for normal haemostasis; deficiency results in Bernard-Soulier Syndrome, a syndrome of thrombocytopenia and giant platelets. CD42a: Platelet glycoprotein IX (GPIX) encoded by the GP9 gene. CD42b: Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain encoded by the GP1BA gene. CD42c
One type of MHC class II deficiency, also called bare lymphocyte syndrome, is due to mutations in the genes that code for transcription factors that regulate the expression of the MHC class II genes. [16] It results in the depletion of CD4 T cells and some immunoglobulin isotypes even though there are normal levels of both CD8 Cells and B cells ...
Where it would get really interesting would be if Clemson upsets SMU in the ACC title game or UNLV upsets Boise State in the Mountain West title game and causes a bid to be “stolen” — i.e ...
Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a rare medical syndrome in which the body has too few CD4 + T lymphocytes, which are a kind of white blood cell. [2] ICL is sometimes characterized as "HIV-negative AIDS", though, in fact, its clinical presentation differs somewhat from that seen with HIV/AIDS. [ 3 ]
