Use of monoclonal antibodies to identify subpopulations of circulating lymphocytes in healthy adults showed pronounced circadian variations in total T cells, the two major T cell subsets, and HLA-DR+ lymphocytes. When the results for the T cell subsets were expressed as a ratio (helper:suppressor) no significant rhythmic variation was observed. Lymphocytes bearing a surface antigen identified by the HNK-1 antibody (a population containing the natural killer and antibody dependent killer activity) did not show significant rhythmic variation. There was an inverse relation between plasma cortisol concentration and numbers of T and B cells. These observations have therapeutic implications and should be considered in the course of immunological monitoring.
使用单克隆抗体鉴定健康成年人循环淋巴细胞亚群的研究表明,总T细胞、两个主要T细胞亚群以及HLA-DR+淋巴细胞存在明显的昼夜节律变化。当将T细胞亚群的结果表示为比值(辅助性T细胞:抑制性T细胞)时,未观察到明显的节律性变化。携带由HNK-1抗体鉴定的表面抗原的淋巴细胞(包含自然杀伤细胞和抗体依赖性杀伤活性的群体)未显示出明显的节律性变化。血浆皮质醇浓度与T细胞和B细胞数量之间存在负相关关系。这些观察结果具有治疗意义,在免疫监测过程中应予以考虑。
