1.Contrasuppressive activity of the T cell Subsets with vicia lectin receptor in systemic lupus erythematosus
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(03):-
Contrasuppressor T cells (TCS) take part in immunoreglation by rendering T help cells re-sistant to the effects of suppressor cells.It was found that both human and mouse TCS expressreceptor for vicia villola letcin (VVR).Human effective TCS are mainly CD8VV~+ T subsetswhich are closely associated with abnormalities of immune activity of many diseases.By usingroutine and double immunofluorescent labelling techniques combined with flow cytometry,dif-ferentVV~+ subsets were analysed.A significant increase was observed for CD8VV~+ cells in ac-tive SLE (23.6%)as compared with the control group (8.5%) and the SLE patients in remis-sion (14.49%).The percentage of CD4VV~+ subset,however,was unchanged.Moreover,thetypical contrasuppressive activities exerted by VV~+ cells,which were also increased significantlyin active SLE patients,were detected in SLE in a dose—dependent manner.In an experimentwith PPD—induced lymphoproliferation as indicating system,for example,the relative respons-es were observed to be increased doses in from 100% to 485% and 625% after the VV~+ cellswere added back in increased doses,suggesting that the contrasuppressive VV~+ or CD8VV~+cells were added back in increased doses,suggesting that the contrasuppressive VV~+ or CD_8VV~+cells Were closely related to the immune disorders of SLE.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the accumulation and proliferation of inflammatory cells in the synovial (joint) lining.By investigating RA pathologic processes and also through experimental models where immune complexes (inflammatory sediments) play a fundamental role.Many other autoantibodies have then come to our knowledge to be associated with the disease.Though it remains unknown the autoimmune pathology of B cells and why the clones of autoreactive B cells survive and proliferate in RA patients,but no doubt these autoantibodies represent a very useful tool in both diagnostic and prognostic terms.In joint synovial fulid,B cells also secrete cytokines,which can be interacted with other cells.B cells express IL-13 receptor a1 (IL-13Ra1),IL-13 can induce CD23 expression on B cells and promote proliferation of naive B cells. In addition,IL-13 is a cytokine which is produced mainly by activated T helper cell 2 (Th2 cells),it can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factor and chemokines,and has a certain relationship with the differentiation of B cells. Therefore,it is necessary to summarize the mechanims of RA pathogenesis related with B cells and IL-13,which has great significance in the diagnosis,treatment and basic immunology research of autoimmune diseases such as RA.
