Associação entre a carga viral e os linfócitos T CD4+ com as lesões intra-epiteliais do colo uterino em mulheres infectadas pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana Association between viral load and CD4+ T lymphocyte count and cervical intraepithelial lesions in HIV-infected women

Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2005
OBJETIVOS: verificar se a contagem de linfócitos T CD4+ e a carga viral do HIV têm influência na presença de lesões intra-epiteliais cervicais (SIL). MÉTODOS: estudo transversal, no qual foram selecionadas 134 mulheres HIV-positivas, todas submetidas à ...

Absolute lymphocyte count as a marker for Cd4 T-lymphocyte count: criterion for initiating antiretroviral therapy in HIV infected Nigerians [PDF]

Nigerian Journal of Medicine, 2006
Few laboratories in resource-constrained countries can afford to perform laboratory-monitoring tests required for the implementation of HIV therapy. In this case control study, we have investigated the relevance of absolute lymphocyte count as a surrogate marker for CD4 lymphocyte count as a criterion for initiating HAARTin HIV-infected Nigerians.A ...

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Comparison of Standard and Point-of-Care CD4+ T Lymphocyte Measurement Methods in HIV-1 Infected Turkish Patients

Medicina
Background and Objectives: CD4+ T lymphocytes are the primary targets of HIV infection. CD4+ T lymphocyte count is an indicator of immune competence. In this study, we aimed to compare standard flow cytometry and point-of-care (POC) CD4+ T lymphocyte in ...

CD4 lymphocyte count: A barometer for HIV/AIDS management

North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012
It is probably not a news to say that HIV/AIDS is yet to have a cure and that the dreaded virus can be managed effectively with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). What is however new is the fact that the point of initiating the management regimen in Africa may likely be different from others elsewhere in the globe if your article recently ...

Identification of functional murine mitochondrial formyl peptides and their effects on myeloid‐derived suppressor cell generation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

Microfluidic Assays for CD4 T Lymphocyte Counting: A Review

Biosensors
CD4 T lymphocytes play a key role in initiating the adaptive immune response, releasing cytokines that mediate numerous signal transduction pathways across the immune system. Therefore, CD4 T cell counts are widely used as an indicator of overall immunological health. HIV, one of the leading causes of death in the developing world, specifically targets

Factors associated with CD4 lymphocyte counts in HIV-negative Senegalese individuals [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2008
Summary CD4+ lymphocytes are a primary target of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and CD4 counts are one of the factors used to measure disease progression in HIV-positive individuals. CD4 counts vary in uninfected individuals and across populations due to a variety of demographic, environmental, immunological and genetic factors ...

Olink Proteomics Analysis Reveals Heterogeneous Responses to FcRn Blockade in Anti‐AChR Antibody‐Positive Myasthenia Gravis: FGF‐19 as a Novel Biomarker

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to systematically observe the clinical manifestations, immune cell subsets, and dynamic changes in serological indicators in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) before and after efgartigimod (EFG) treatment. Methods We analyzed the baseline data, laboratory parameters, and lymphocyte subset proportions in MG ...

In‐Depth Profiling Highlights the Effect of Efgartigimod on Peripheral Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells in Myasthenia Gravis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by antibody‐mediated complement activation. Efgartigimod, a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, is approved for treating generalized MG (gMG). However, its modulatory effects on upstream innate and adaptive immune cells remain largely unexplored.
