    The cell membrane markers on peripheral blood lymphocytes of 10 patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) were analyzed by laser flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies. Seven patients with active uveitis and 98 normal control subjects were also studied. The percentage of OKT3+, OKT4+ and OKT11+ cells were significantly lower while OKIa1+ cell were higher in VKH compared to controls. The percentage of cells reacting with monoclonal antibodies were slightly affected during steroid therapy, but returned to the pretreatment level after cessation of the therapy. OKIa1+ cells were shown to be increased in active uveitis while percentages of cells with other cell markers remained unchanged when the results were compared with that of the control. The findings suggest that the analysis of cell membrane markers on lymphocytes in VKH could be a significant parameter in clinical medicine.

    Lymphoid Cells and Tissues

    Lymphoid cells and tissues are integral to the immune system, which is crucial in maintaining our body's defense against harmful pathogens. They form the building blocks of lymphoid organs, which include the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.
    Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

    Primary Lymphoid Organs

    Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
    The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

    Secondary Lymphoid Organs

    Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
    The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
