概括
确定儿科调节性T细胞 (Treg) 和调节性B细胞 (Breg) 的参考值对于诊断免疫障碍至关重要. 这项研究定义了Treg表型,并分析了儿童的Treg和Breg随年龄的变化.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 儿科 儿科 儿科
- 流动细胞计量 (Flow Cytometry) 是一种流动细胞计.
背景情况:
- 临床诊断免疫的先天性错误,包括Tregopathies,需要儿童调节性T细胞 (Treg) 的年龄分层参考值.
- 缺乏标准化的Treg免疫表型定义,阻碍了对诊断结果的准确解释.
- 调节性B细胞 (Breg) 在儿科群体中未得到充分研究,尽管它们在免疫调节中的作用.
研究的目的:
- 分析Treg细胞不同免疫表型定义之间的相关性.
- 对健康儿童的Treg和Breg频率及其成熟状态的年龄相关变化进行调查.
- 建立Treg和Breg在儿科诊断中的年龄分层参考值的基础.
主要方法:
- 在55名健康儿科对照中,使用流细胞计进行了Treg和Breg的外周血液免疫类型鉴定.
- 分析了三种Treg免疫类型的定义 (CD4+CD25hiCD127low,CD4+CD25hiCD127lowFoxP3+,CD4+CD25hiFoxP3+) 和Breg (CD19+CD24hiCD38hi) 进行了分析.
- 在不同年龄组中评估了Treg和Breg的频率和成熟状态.
主要成果:
- 根据使用的免疫类型定义,Treg数量有很大的差异,频率从0.07%到9.7%不等.
- 大多数Treg定义,特别是细胞内面板之间观察到正相关性.
- 随着年龄的增长,Treg和Breg频率通常分别在7岁和3岁后随着年龄的增长而下降,而Treg成熟度则随着年龄的增长而增加.
结论:
- 对Treg频率的解释需要仔细考虑所使用的免疫表型定义,尽管定义之间的相关性很好.
- 在儿科对照中发现了Treg和Breg频率和成熟模式的与年龄相关的变化.
- 随着年龄的增长,调节性B细胞的动态似乎先于儿童的调节性T细胞.

T Cell Types and Functions
1.0K
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.

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response
994
The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. These progenitors give rise to precursors that eventually develop into both T and B lymphocytes. As these precursors mature, they gain the ability to detect and respond to foreign antigens in the body, a process known as immunocompetence. Additionally, these precursors acquire self-tolerance, a process that ensures they do not react to self-antigens. This intricate system...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
3.2K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...
