T-lymphocyte subsets in primary and secondary glomerulonephritis.
Copyright policy )T-lymphocyte subsets in primary and secondary glomerulonephritis.
T-lymphocyte subsets, using the monoclonal antibodies OKT3 (peripheral T-cells), OKT4 (helper/inducer T-cells) and OKT8 (suppressor/cytotoxic T-cells) were measured in peripheral blood from 110 patients with various forms of primary and secondary glomerulonephritis (GN) (Berger's disease, membranous GN, focal glomerulosclerosis, membranoproliferative GN, lupus nephritis and mixed essential cryoglobulinaemia with GN). We have found a significantly higher OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio in patients with Berger's disease and membranous GN and a rather low OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio in patients with lupus nephritis and mixed essential cryoglobulinaemia, due to a significant decrease in OKT4+ cells. Our results suggest an imbalance in immunoregulatory mechanisms in some forms of GN.
