Abstract:
Objective To study the reconstitution of nature kill cell early after non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (NAST). Methods Cell phenotypes and in vitro immune functions were analyzed by direct immune fluorescence with FCM, T-cell activation test and MTT assay, respectively. Results The percentages of CD+3, CD+4 cells were low, (2.03±15.60) % and (22.69±12.29)%, respectively, while CD+8 lymphocytes were normal or high [(29.26±8.99)%] 1 month after NAST. Proliferative response to a T lymphocyte activator (PHA) was blunted, 94.60±44.87. The percentage of NK cells was within normal limits or high (n=7) in allotransplanted patients. It is (18.77±9.11) %. The percentage of CD+56 NK cells expressing IL-2R (CD25) was high and values obtained from transplanted patients were significantly different from control values . They are (3.71±2.23) % (t = 2.116, P = 0.044). NK cell activity in part of patients was higher than that observed in control cells (25.30±12.39) % vs (16.60±3.53) % (t = 2.135, P= 0.047). Conclusion NK cell has recovered early after transplantation and may be particularly relevant as a first line of defence in immunosurveillance against neoplastic cells or microbial infections, until a full reconstitution of T cellmediated immune response can be achieved.
