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: RT-PCR, Western blot and flow cytometry techniques were used to detect the expression of caspase-3 in CD34^+ CB cells during culture in vitro. Results: Caspase-3 mRNA was constitutively expressed at a low level in freshly isolated CD34^+ cells. The expression of caspase-3 mRNA and protein was upregulated when these cellswere first expanded in suspension culture with growth factors for 3 days. However, only the 32 kDa inactive caspase-3 proenzyme was detected in the freshly isolated CD34^+ cells as well as during the first 3 days expansion with cytokines. With longer culture time in vitro, especially in the presence of the combination of IL-3, IL-6 and GM-CSF, caspase-3 was activated and a cleavage product of 20 kDa became detectable.Conclusion: Caspase-3 is involved in apoptosis of primitive CB CD34^+ cells during expansion in vitro.展开更多

As in other vertebrate CD3 molecules, the deduced amino acid sequences of mandarin fish CD3γ/δ and CD3ε contained conserved residues and motifs, such as cysteine residues and CXXC and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs. However, mandarin fish CD3γ/δ and CD3ε showed some differences to their mammalian counterparts, specifically the absence of a negatively charged residue in the transmembrane region of CD3γ/δ. Additionally, while an N-glycosylation site was present in CD3c, the site was not observed in CD3γ/δ. The CD3γ/δ and CD3ε subunit sequences contain six and five exons, respectively, consistent with homologues from Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. Phylogenetic analysis also revealed that CD3γ/δ and CD3ε in mandarin fish are closely related to their counterparts in Acanthopterygian fish. Real-time PCR showed CD3γ/δ and CD3ε were expressed mainly in the thymus and spleen in normal healthy fish and, to a lesser extent, in mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues, such as the intestine and gills. When lymphocytes isolated from head kidney were treated with the mitogens phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin, and polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid, mRNA expression levels of CD3γ/δ and CD3ε were significantly elevated within 12 h of treatment. This indicated the presence of T lymphocytes in the head kidney of teleost fish, and also the recognition of mitogens by the lymphocytes. Mandarin fish infected with the bacterial pathogen Flavobacterium columnare also showed an increase in the expression of CD3γ/δ and CD3ε mR_NA, indicating that CD3γ/δ and CD3ε lymphocytes are involved in the immune response of this species.展开更多

Methods: Freshly isolated umbilical blood mononuclear calls (UBMC) were cultivated for 3 h. Suspension cells and attached calls were used to induce CD3AK calls and DC separately. DC was loaded with CEA-rV on the 3rd day to prepare CEA-rV+DC. CD3AK cells were co-cultured with CEA- rV+DC on the 8th day, to prepare CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK. The killing activity of each effector's cell, which included UBMC, CD3AK, DC+CD3AK and CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK, was measured respectively by MTT reduction assay. Results: (1) 4 target cells were con- firmed by CEA monoclonal antibody of rabbit anti-human. Lovo and A549 were really CEA positive cell lines, while Bel-7402 and K562 were CEA negative cell lines. (2) It was showed by flow-cytometry that the mature DC cultured at 10th day expressed MHC I, II molecules such as CD86, CDS0, CD83 and CD40 highly, but CD123 lowly. The expression rates of CD86, CDS0, CD83 and CD40 was 82.7%, 51.1%, 57.5% and 69.4%, respectively. The appearances and intra-cellular structures of DC were observed through light and electron microscope. The diameter of mature DC was 15-20 μm presented the irregular morphologic appearanca, much prominences and pseudopodium. There were abundant mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in DC endochylema. (3) The rates of CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD28 in CD3AK cells group were 2 folds higher than that in UBMC group by FACS. It was said that the numbers of the mature T lymphocyte in CD3AK cells group were much greater than that in UBMC group. (4) The killing activities to 4 target cells of 3 effector's cells, which included CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK, DC+CD3AK and CD3AK, were much greater than that of UBMC (P〈0.01). Moreover, comparing with the killing activities of 4 effector's: CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK group 〉 DC+CD3AK group 〉 CD3AK group 〉 UBMC group. It showed that, cytokine, DC and CEA-rV could efficiently elevate the killing activity of UBMC on broad-spectrum tumor cells. (5) Comparing with the killing activities of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK and CD3AK cells to CEA positive and negative cells, the killing activities of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK to CEA positive tumor calls, Lovo and A549 calls (P〈0.01) were remarkably better than that to CEA negative tumor cells BEL-7402 and K562 cells (P〈0.05). It was said that the CEA-rV+DC could obviously enhance the killing activity of CD3AK on CEA positive tumor cells. Comparing with the killing activities of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK and DC+CD3AK cells, the killing activity of CD3AK on CEA negative tumor cells was no statistical difference (P〉0.05). However, the killing activity to CEA positive cells of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK group was notably higher than that of DC+CD3AK group. Namely, CEA-rV could distinctly promote the special killing activity to CEA positive tumor cells of CD3AK, but could not do it to CEA negative tumor cells. Conclusion: CEA-rV+DC could obviously enhance the special killing activity of CD3AK on CEA positive tumor cell lines, while the DC only couldn't. The results indicated that the CEA-rV played an important role during the special killing activity of CD3AK cells to CEA positive tumor cells.展开更多

Epidemiological studies also revealed the association of variants of GLTSCR1 and ATM genes with different brain tumors. However, little is known about the relationship between both gene polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. We conducted a Chinese hospital-based casecontrol study involving 384 lung cancer cases and 387 cancer-free controls. No significant differences in the single polymorphism (GLTSCR1 rs1035938 and ATM rs11212592) association were found in five genetic models (co-dominant, dominant, recessive, overdominant and log-additive models) (adjusted by smoking duration). Join effect of three SNPs (PPPIR13L rs1970764, CD3EAP rs967591, GLTSCR1 rs1035938) on chromosome 19q 13.3 showed that the designated haplotype2 (rs 1970764 G-rs967591 A-rs 1035938 C) [OR (95% CI)=1.60 (1.11-2.32), P=0.012] and haplotype8 (rs 1970764 G-rs967591 G-rs 1035938 T) [OR (95% CI)=2.45 (1.17-5.12), P=0.018] were associated with increased risk of lung cancer (adjusted by smoking duration). The analysis ofmultifactor dimensionality reduction revealed that two 3-way models were the best fit models in analyses of 2 loci (P〈0.001) or 4 loci (P=0.015-0.016). The entropy-based analysis indicated the strongest synergistic effect between PPPIR13L rs1970764 and ATM rs11212592 in analysis of four genes. In conclusion, our study suggests that haplotypes consisting of PPPIR13L rs1970764- CD3EAP rs967591-GLTSCR1 rs1035938 on Chr19q13.3, interaction of smoking and GLTSCR1 rs1035938-ATM rs11212592, and synergistic action of PPPIR13L rs1970764 and ATM rs 11212592 may associate with lung cancer risk in the Chinese population.展开更多

CD3 staining was subsequently evaluated separately and independently.RESULTS: Differences in evaluation between the routine HE sections and CD3 staining were present in 20(12.6%) cases. In 10(6.3%) patients the diagnosis of celiac disease(Marsh Ⅱ and Ⅲ) changed on examination of CD3 staining: in 9 cases, celiac disease had initially been missed on the HE sections, while 1 patient had been over-diagnosed on the routine sections. In all patients, the final diagnosis based on CD3 staining, was concordant with serological results, which was not found previously. In the other 10(12.3%) patients, the detection of sole intra-epithelial lymphocytosis(Marsh Ⅰ) improved. Nine patients were found to have Marsh Ⅰ on CD3 sections, which had been missed on routine sections. Interestingly, the only patient with negative serology had Giardiasis. Finally, in 1 patient with negative serology, in whom Marsh Ⅰ was suspected on HE sections, this diagnosis was withdrawn after evaluation of the CD3 sections.CONCLUSION: Staining for CD3 has an additional value in the histological detection of celiac disease lesions, and CD3 staining should be performed when there is a discrepancy between serology and the diagnosis made on HE sections.展开更多

These ranges tend to vary across populations. The CD4:CD8 ratio is used to measure of how balanced immune function is. Therefore, this study aimed at determining normal reference values for CD4+ and CD3+T-lymphocytes and leucocytes in healthy adults in Coastal Kenya. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried between May 2015 and February 2016 in Coast General Referral hospital, Tudor, Port-Reitz, Mlaleo, Likoni and Sub-County hospitals. Participants were recruited from voluntary HIV counselling and testing clinics. Patients were counselled for HIV test and those who consented were tested for HIV. They were screened for diseases that potentially cause lymphocyte homeostasis perturbation. CD4+, CD3+ CD8+cells/μl were analyzed using a BD FACSCount flow cytometer (Becton-Dickson, NJ). Results: We enrolled 500 participants, two hundred and forty (48.0%) were males and two hundred and sixty (52.0) females. The mean CD4 cell count was 1054.9 ± 95% CI 1041.2 - 1068.6 cells/mm3, absolute CD8 was 688.4 ± 95% CI 679.1 - 697.7 cells/mm3, absolute CD3 cell count was 1945.1 ± 95% CI 1907.4 - 1982.2 cells/mm3 absolute leukocyte count 5.19 ± 95% CI 5.12 - 5.19, absolute lymphocyte count 1.85 ± 95% CI1.83 - 1.88 and haemoglobin level 12.76 ± 95% CI 12.65 - 12.87. Females had significantly higher mean CD4 and CD8 T cell counts than males (p < 0.05). The mean values of white blood cells 4.7 (3.0 - 7.9) × 109/l, platelets 239 (77 - 353) × 109/l and erythrocytes 4.65 (3.51 - 5.40) × 109 were significantly higher in males than females (p Conclusion: Immunohaematological markers found in this study were different from the standard values for the western countries. Females had significantly higher mean CD4+T and CD3+T cell counts but lower mean haemoglobin level, erythrocytes, white blood cells and platelets than males. Our findings provide new insight in the CD4 and CD3 T cell reference values of Kenyans.展开更多

Methods: CD3 CD56+NK cells were treated with CD137 mAb or mouse IgG 1 isotype control to study the effects of CD 137 signaling on the function of CD3-CD56+NK cells. Cytotoxicity was measured by LDH activity in the supernatants of cell cultures; NKG2D and LFA-I expression on CD3-CD56+NK cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: CD137 was expressed on activated CD3-CD56+NK cells. The CD137 mAb enhanced the ability of CDB-CD56+NK cells to kill lung cancer cells(A549); Further studies revealed that the expression of NKG2D and LFA-1 was significantly increased in activated cells, and blockade of NKG2D and LFA-1 dramatically attenuated CD3CD56+NK cytolysis of A549 cancer cells. Conclusion: CD 137 signaling increases the ability of CD3-CD56+NK cells to kill cancer cells via up- regulating the expression of NKG2D and LFA-1.展开更多

文摘Objective: To survey the special killing activity of CD3AK on anti-CEA-positive tumor enhanced by umbilical cord blood dendritic cell (DC) loaded with CEA recombinant vaccinia virus (CEA-rV). Methods: Freshly isolated umbilical blood mononuclear calls (UBMC) were cultivated for 3 h. Suspension cells and attached calls were used to induce CD3AK calls and DC separately. DC was loaded with CEA-rV on the 3rd day to prepare CEA-rV+DC. CD3AK cells were co-cultured with CEA- rV+DC on the 8th day, to prepare CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK. The killing activity of each effector's cell, which included UBMC, CD3AK, DC+CD3AK and CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK, was measured respectively by MTT reduction assay. Results: (1) 4 target cells were con- firmed by CEA monoclonal antibody of rabbit anti-human. Lovo and A549 were really CEA positive cell lines, while Bel-7402 and K562 were CEA negative cell lines. (2) It was showed by flow-cytometry that the mature DC cultured at 10th day expressed MHC I, II molecules such as CD86, CDS0, CD83 and CD40 highly, but CD123 lowly. The expression rates of CD86, CDS0, CD83 and CD40 was 82.7%, 51.1%, 57.5% and 69.4%, respectively. The appearances and intra-cellular structures of DC were observed through light and electron microscope. The diameter of mature DC was 15-20 μm presented the irregular morphologic appearanca, much prominences and pseudopodium. There were abundant mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in DC endochylema. (3) The rates of CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD28 in CD3AK cells group were 2 folds higher than that in UBMC group by FACS. It was said that the numbers of the mature T lymphocyte in CD3AK cells group were much greater than that in UBMC group. (4) The killing activities to 4 target cells of 3 effector's cells, which included CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK, DC+CD3AK and CD3AK, were much greater than that of UBMC (P〈0.01). Moreover, comparing with the killing activities of 4 effector's: CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK group 〉 DC+CD3AK group 〉 CD3AK group 〉 UBMC group. It showed that, cytokine, DC and CEA-rV could efficiently elevate the killing activity of UBMC on broad-spectrum tumor cells. (5) Comparing with the killing activities of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK and CD3AK cells to CEA positive and negative cells, the killing activities of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK to CEA positive tumor calls, Lovo and A549 calls (P〈0.01) were remarkably better than that to CEA negative tumor cells BEL-7402 and K562 cells (P〈0.05). It was said that the CEA-rV+DC could obviously enhance the killing activity of CD3AK on CEA positive tumor cells. Comparing with the killing activities of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK and DC+CD3AK cells, the killing activity of CD3AK on CEA negative tumor cells was no statistical difference (P〉0.05). However, the killing activity to CEA positive cells of CEA-rV+DC+CD3AK group was notably higher than that of DC+CD3AK group. Namely, CEA-rV could distinctly promote the special killing activity to CEA positive tumor cells of CD3AK, but could not do it to CEA negative tumor cells. Conclusion: CEA-rV+DC could obviously enhance the special killing activity of CD3AK on CEA positive tumor cell lines, while the DC only couldn't. The results indicated that the CEA-rV played an important role during the special killing activity of CD3AK cells to CEA positive tumor cells.

文摘Genetic variants in glioma tumor suppressor candidate region gene 1 (GLTSCR1) and ATM serine/threonine kinase (ATM) have been associated with various cancer risks. Epidemiological studies also revealed the association of variants of GLTSCR1 and ATM genes with different brain tumors. However, little is known about the relationship between both gene polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. We conducted a Chinese hospital-based casecontrol study involving 384 lung cancer cases and 387 cancer-free controls. No significant differences in the single polymorphism (GLTSCR1 rs1035938 and ATM rs11212592) association were found in five genetic models (co-dominant, dominant, recessive, overdominant and log-additive models) (adjusted by smoking duration). Join effect of three SNPs (PPPIR13L rs1970764, CD3EAP rs967591, GLTSCR1 rs1035938) on chromosome 19q 13.3 showed that the designated haplotype2 (rs 1970764 G-rs967591 A-rs 1035938 C) [OR (95% CI)=1.60 (1.11-2.32), P=0.012] and haplotype8 (rs 1970764 G-rs967591 G-rs 1035938 T) [OR (95% CI)=2.45 (1.17-5.12), P=0.018] were associated with increased risk of lung cancer (adjusted by smoking duration). The analysis ofmultifactor dimensionality reduction revealed that two 3-way models were the best fit models in analyses of 2 loci (P〈0.001) or 4 loci (P=0.015-0.016). The entropy-based analysis indicated the strongest synergistic effect between PPPIR13L rs1970764 and ATM rs11212592 in analysis of four genes. In conclusion, our study suggests that haplotypes consisting of PPPIR13L rs1970764- CD3EAP rs967591-GLTSCR1 rs1035938 on Chr19q13.3, interaction of smoking and GLTSCR1 rs1035938-ATM rs11212592, and synergistic action of PPPIR13L rs1970764 and ATM rs 11212592 may associate with lung cancer risk in the Chinese population.

CD3 staining was subsequently evaluated separately and independently.RESULTS: Differences in evaluation between the routine HE sections and CD3 staining were present in 20(12.6%) cases. In 10(6.3%) patients the diagnosis of celiac disease(Marsh Ⅱ and Ⅲ) changed on examination of CD3 staining: in 9 cases, celiac disease had initially been missed on the HE sections, while 1 patient had been over-diagnosed on the routine sections. In all patients, the final diagnosis based on CD3 staining, was concordant with serological results, which was not found previously. In the other 10(12.3%) patients, the detection of sole intra-epithelial lymphocytosis(Marsh Ⅰ) improved. Nine patients were found to have Marsh Ⅰ on CD3 sections, which had been missed on routine sections. Interestingly, the only patient with negative serology had Giardiasis. Finally, in 1 patient with negative serology, in whom Marsh Ⅰ was suspected on HE sections, this diagnosis was withdrawn after evaluation of the CD3 sections.CONCLUSION: Staining for CD3 has an additional value in the histological detection of celiac disease lesions, and CD3 staining should be performed when there is a discrepancy between serology and the diagnosis made on HE sections.
文摘Background: Studies on the reference values of CD4 and CD3 T cells in healthy individuals have continued to gain significance because of the importance of these immunological markers in the initiation of antiretroviral therapy and prophylactic drugs for opportunistic infections. These ranges tend to vary across populations. The CD4:CD8 ratio is used to measure of how balanced immune function is. Therefore, this study aimed at determining normal reference values for CD4+ and CD3+T-lymphocytes and leucocytes in healthy adults in Coastal Kenya. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried between May 2015 and February 2016 in Coast General Referral hospital, Tudor, Port-Reitz, Mlaleo, Likoni and Sub-County hospitals. Participants were recruited from voluntary HIV counselling and testing clinics. Patients were counselled for HIV test and those who consented were tested for HIV. They were screened for diseases that potentially cause lymphocyte homeostasis perturbation. CD4+, CD3+ CD8+cells/μl were analyzed using a BD FACSCount flow cytometer (Becton-Dickson, NJ). Results: We enrolled 500 participants, two hundred and forty (48.0%) were males and two hundred and sixty (52.0) females. The mean CD4 cell count was 1054.9 ± 95% CI 1041.2 - 1068.6 cells/mm3, absolute CD8 was 688.4 ± 95% CI 679.1 - 697.7 cells/mm3, absolute CD3 cell count was 1945.1 ± 95% CI 1907.4 - 1982.2 cells/mm3 absolute leukocyte count 5.19 ± 95% CI 5.12 - 5.19, absolute lymphocyte count 1.85 ± 95% CI1.83 - 1.88 and haemoglobin level 12.76 ± 95% CI 12.65 - 12.87. Females had significantly higher mean CD4 and CD8 T cell counts than males (p < 0.05). The mean values of white blood cells 4.7 (3.0 - 7.9) × 109/l, platelets 239 (77 - 353) × 109/l and erythrocytes 4.65 (3.51 - 5.40) × 109 were significantly higher in males than females (p Conclusion: Immunohaematological markers found in this study were different from the standard values for the western countries. Females had significantly higher mean CD4+T and CD3+T cell counts but lower mean haemoglobin level, erythrocytes, white blood cells and platelets than males. Our findings provide new insight in the CD4 and CD3 T cell reference values of Kenyans.
文摘Objective The aim of this study was to costimulate the CD3-AK cells with anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody (mAb), observe the effect of cell proliferation and cytotoxicity and explore the regulatory role of CD28 mAb on the CD3-AK tumoricidal activity.

文摘Objective: To investigate the effects of CD137 signaling on the regulation of CD3-CD56+NK cells function. Methods: CD3 CD56+NK cells were treated with CD137 mAb or mouse IgG 1 isotype control to study the effects of CD 137 signaling on the function of CD3-CD56+NK cells. Cytotoxicity was measured by LDH activity in the supernatants of cell cultures; NKG2D and LFA-I expression on CD3-CD56+NK cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: CD137 was expressed on activated CD3-CD56+NK cells. The CD137 mAb enhanced the ability of CDB-CD56+NK cells to kill lung cancer cells(A549); Further studies revealed that the expression of NKG2D and LFA-1 was significantly increased in activated cells, and blockade of NKG2D and LFA-1 dramatically attenuated CD3CD56+NK cytolysis of A549 cancer cells. Conclusion: CD 137 signaling increases the ability of CD3-CD56+NK cells to kill cancer cells via up- regulating the expression of NKG2D and LFA-1.
