Plasma granulysin levels and cellular interferon-gamma production correlate with curative host responses in tuberculosis, while plasma interferon-gam…

Contains fulltext : 52707.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Granulysin is a recently identified cytolytic protein which is expressed by human cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer (NK)-cells, and has broad antimicrobial and tumoricidal activity. Circulating granulysin levels are associated with T- and NK-cell activity, and may thus reflect protection-associated cellular immune responses. In a case-control study in Indonesia, a highly tuberculosis (TB)-endemic country, we therefore determined plasma granulysin levels in adults with active pulmonary TB before, during, and after TB treatment, both in mild/moderate-TB and advanced-TB patients, and compared these to healthy neighbo…

Blocking TNF in vitro with infliximab determines the inhibition of expansion and interferon gamma production of Vγ9/Vδ2 T lymphocytes from patients w…

2011

Side effects of TNF neutralisation - mostly infectious complications - were recognized, the most important being pulmonary tuberculosis infections. gamma/ d T cells contribute to protective immune response against mycobacterium tuberculosis.The aim of the present study was to assess the expansion capacity of Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from (tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) positive and PPD negative) patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to examine the in vitro effect of infliximab on this lymphocyte subset.28 PPD negative RA patients were studied and compared with 14 PPD positive RA patients, 45 PPD-negative and 110 PPD-positive healthy volunteers. Cell separation, ex…
