Here we review the achievements of the HLDA Workshops and provide links to information on CD molecules and antibodies against them, including the 93 new CDs assigned in the 8^th Workshop. We consider what remains to be achieved （including an estimate of the number of leucocyte surface molecules still to be discovered）, and how the field can best move forward.展开更多

METHODS: Peripheral blood mohonuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 30 clinically liver transplanted recipients. CD95 expression on CD3+ cells was quantitatively measured by two-color fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis. Lymphocyte surface phenotypes of CD4, CD8, CD16 and CD56 were determined by flow cytometry. Plasma levels of sCD95 and SCD95L were detected by Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The results were compared with that from normal healthy volunteers (n=15 individuals). RESULTS: FACS analysis showed that CD95 expression on CD3+ T cells was significantly increased in liver transplanted recipients with AR compared to that in stable recipients without rejection and infection or healthy individuals who did not undergo transplantation (18 676.93±11 588.34/molecule, 6 848.20±1 712.96/molecule, 6 418.01±2 001.95/molecule, respectively, P<0.01). Whereas no significant difference was seen between liver-transplanted stable recipients and healthy individuals. Furthermore, no significant differences were detected between each group with CD4/CD8 ratio or the percentage of CD16+56+cells. Plasma levels of sCD95 were significantly higher in transplanted recipients with AR compared to that in stable recipients or healthy individuals (391.88±196.00, 201.37±30.30, 148.83±58.25 pg/mL, respectively, P<0.01). In contrast, the plasma levels of sCD95L in liver-transplanted recipients were not significantly different from that in healthy individuals. CONCLUSION: The present results indicate that the increased CD95 expression on CD3+cells and the increased levels of sCD95 in plasma may modify the immunological situation of the recipients after transplantation or represent the ongoing graft rejection.展开更多

The CD34 + cells freshly isolated from CB displayed low CD95 expression. The combinations of cytokines such as SCF+FL could up regulate the expression of CD95 in vitro culture and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) and interon γ (IFN γ) further increased the CD95 expression induced by positive cytokines. The functional status of CD95 mediated apoptosis were analyzed by incubation of CD34 +CB cells in the presence of anti CD95 monoclonal antibodies (McAbs). The effects of anti CD95 McAbs were measured by viable cell counting, flow cytometry, LTIC and CFU C assays. A decrease of viable cells, CFU C and LTIC numbers were observed in the presence of anti CD95 McAbs and TNF α or IFN γ. However, growth factor deprivation or the early acting cytokine such as SCF and FL cross linking to CD95 caused low apoptosis of CD34 + cells. The correlation of increased intracytoplasmic levels of bcl 2 and the presence of CD95 on fresh CB CD34 + cells suggested that bcl 2 might be involved in protecting against CD95 mediated apoptosis of CB CD34 + cells.展开更多

Cytokine milieu and costimulatory molecules have been shown to play an essential role in determining T helper differentiation. However, it is still unclear how the effects of signals of co-stimulatory molecules and cytokines are exerted during T helper differentiation.
