The innate immune response is the primary defense against influenza virus infection.
This is a prospective study carried out in children <18 years of age who were diagnosed with influenza A or influenza B infection. Demographic and clinical data, laboratory findings and cell immunophenotypes on first presentation were compared.
With respect to immunophenotype, influenza A infection resulted in a higher fraction of CD14 and CD4IL-17Acells compared to children infected with influenza B. By contrast, influenza B infection resulted in a comparatively higher percentage of double-negative CD4CD8 lymphocyte subsets. Influenza A infection was associated with comparatively higher percentages of CD4CD25Foxp3 and CD4CD25Foxp3 cells. By contrast, the percentage of CD8CD25 and CD8CD25 cells was similar among patients with influenza A infection and influenza B infection.
An improved understanding of the fraction of regulatory T cells with influenza virus infections may provide further understandings on immune responses.
先天免疫反应是抵抗流感病毒感染的主要防御机制。
这是一项在 <18 岁的被诊断为甲型或乙型流感病毒感染的儿童中进行的前瞻性研究。比较了初次就诊时的人口统计学和临床数据、实验室发现和细胞免疫表型。
就免疫表型而言,与感染乙型流感的儿童相比,甲型流感感染导致 CD14 和 CD4IL-17A 细胞的比例更高。相比之下,乙型流感感染导致双阴性 CD4CD8 淋巴细胞亚群的比例相对较高。甲型流感感染与 CD4CD25Foxp3 和 CD4CD25Foxp3 细胞的比例相对较高有关。相比之下,甲型流感感染和乙型流感感染患者的 CD8CD25 和 CD8CD25 细胞比例相似。
对流感病毒感染中调节性 T 细胞比例的深入了解可能有助于进一步了解免疫反应。
