Changes in activated T cell subsets in peripheral blood were examined during the course of experimental allergic neuritis (EAN), using two-color immunofluorescence flow cytometry. Both CD4+ and CD8+ activated T cells decreased transiently before the onset of clinical signs, and increased just around the time of onset of the disease. In contrast, during the recovery phase, the numbers of CD4+ activated T cells returned to the normal range, whereas CD8+ activated T cells continued to increase. These findings imply that activation of CD4+ helper/inducer cells contributes mainly to the evolution of EAN, and that of CD8+ suppressor cells are necessary for recovery.
利用双色免疫荧光流式细胞术,在实验性变应性神经炎(EAN)病程中检测外周血中活化T细胞亚群的变化。CD4⁺和CD8⁺活化T细胞在临床症状出现前均短暂减少,而在疾病发作时前后增加。相比之下,在恢复阶段,CD4⁺活化T细胞数量恢复到正常范围,而CD8⁺活化T细胞持续增加。这些发现提示,CD4⁺辅助/诱导细胞的活化主要促成EAN的进展,而CD8⁺抑制细胞的活化对恢复是必需的。
