By analyzing the expression of several cytotoxic markers, killer-immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), CD94/CD159, CD314 and natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCRs), in 22 CD3+ lymphoproliferative disease of granular lymphocyte (LDGL) patients we investigated whether granular lymphocytes (GLs) displayed the phenotype of fully differentiated cytotoxic cells. Our results demonstrate that GLs express a pattern consistent with fully differentiated CTLs. KIRs are expressed only in a fraction of patients (7/22), as is CD94/CD159 (5/22). In conclusion, GLs in CD3+ LDGL patients typically show the phenotype of fully differentiated CTL, whereas the expression of NK receptors does not represent a common feature of the proliferating clone.
通过分析22例颗粒淋巴细胞型CD3 + 淋巴细胞增殖性疾病(LDGL)患者中几种细胞毒性标志物、杀伤免疫球蛋白样受体(KIR)、CD94/CD159、CD314和自然细胞毒性受体(NCR)的表达,我们研究了颗粒淋巴细胞(GL)是否表现出完全分化的细胞毒性细胞的表型。我们的结果表明,GL表达的模式与完全分化的细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)一致。KIR仅在部分患者(7/22)中表达,CD94/CD159也是如此(5/22)。总之,CD3 + LDGL患者中的GL通常表现出完全分化的CTL的表型,而NK受体的表达并不是增殖克隆的共同特征。
