Stolpnikova VN, Kochergina NI, Karpenko OM, Miroshnichenko IV: [Quantitative changes in characteristics of immunity in longlivers] . Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol. 2006 Sep-Oct;(6):50-3.
In 93 persons aged 90 to 103 years old the subpopulation compositon of lymphocytes and the level of thymic serum activity (TSA) was studied. In the presence of polymorbidity the low level of TSA was observed in 81% of examinees, with the quantitative deficiency in the relative and absolute number of CD3+CD8+ T-lymphocytes (62% and 78% respectively) and the excess in the number CD3+CD4-CD8- T-lymphocytes (42% and 57% respectively). Among CD3+CD4-CD8- T-lymphocytes cells with phenotypes CD3+/-CD4-CD8-CD16- and CD3+CD4-CD16+ were determined. In prolonged imunomonitoring the reciprocacity of changes in the amount of CD3+/-CD4-CD8-CD16- T-lymphocytes was established in relation to the level of TCA and the number of CD3+CD8+ T-lymphocytes. The reversibility of these changes is indicative of the potential of reactivity of the immune system in longlivers. The positive result of laser therapy in persons with quantitative deficiency of CD3+CD8+ T-lymphocytes and the presence of cells with phenotype CD3+/-CD4-CD8-CD16- was associated with the restoration of the size of CD3+CD8+ subpopulation and a decrease in an amount of CD3+/-CD4-CD8-CD16-. The unfavorable prognostic sign was, seemingly, the quantitative deficiency of CD3+CD8+ T-lymphocytes with the low level of TCA in the absence of CD3+/-CD4-CD8-CD16- T-lymphocytes. |
