Abstract:

Thymic serum activity (TSA) has been studied in 52 healthy subjects, 48 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 17 sufferers with systemic lupus erythematosus aged from 18 to 70. TSA was compared in patients under and over 40 years. In those under 40 TSA appeared significantly inhibited, while in older subjects it did not differ from age-matched control. No correlations were reported between TSA levels and clinical characteristics. Changes in TSA levels may be related both to low content of thymic hormones and formation of inactive complexes from thymic mediators with inhibitors.

T Cell Types and Functions

When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...
