Cytopenia and T cell proliferation.

P C Beverley, D C Linch, R E Callard

    Journal of Clinical Immunology
    |July 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Patients with neutropenia and erythroid aplasia show an excess of suppressor/cytotoxic T cells (T cells). These T cells exhibit impaired responses to mitogens but possess cytotoxic capabilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Neutropenia and erythroid aplasia can be associated with T cell abnormalities.
    • Understanding the specific T cell subsets involved is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the phenotype and function of T cells in patients with neutropenia or erythroid aplasia.
    • To investigate the role of these T cells in hematological disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Flow cytometry to analyze T cell phenotypes (e.g., E+, OKT3+, OKT8+, HLA-DR).
    • Functional assays assessing T cell responses to mitogens and their suppressive effects on normal lymphocytes.
    • Evaluation of cytotoxic capabilities, including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).

    Main Results:

    • Patients exhibited near-normal helper/inducer T cell counts but an excess of suppressor/cytotoxic T cells.
    • These expanded T cells showed poor response to mitogens and suppressed normal T cell responses.
    • The T cells demonstrated cytotoxic potential in ADCC assays but did not directly affect BFU-E or CFU-GM.

    Conclusions:

    • An aberrant suppressor/cytotoxic T cell subset is implicated in neutropenia and erythroid aplasia.
    • These T cells possess cytotoxic functions but their direct impact on early erythroid and myeloid progenitors is limited.
