The present study was undertaken to establish reference values for the composition blood lymphocyte populations and compare forty three Hanwoo neonatal calves (KC) with twenty one Holstein calves (HC) by blood cell count and immunophynotying. The percentages of CD2+, CD4+, CD8+, CD26+, ACT2+, MHC class, MHC class II and WC1+ T cells, B cells were determined by flow cytometry. The number of lymphocyte and monocyte in HC were higher than those of KC. However, the number of neutrophils was higher in HC than KC. The proportions of CD2+, CD4+, CD8+, MHC class, and WC1+ lymphocytes remained relatively stable during the study period, while there was a moderate increase in the relative percentage of CD26+, ACT2+, MHC class II and B cell from birth to approximately 3 weeks of age. Marked differences in the relative proportions of the lymphocyte subpopulations were noted between the individual calves. The present study shows that the T-cell subpopulations are present in peripheral blood of KC at levels comparable with HC, while the MHC class II and B cell population of KC increases significantly with age. The absolute number of WBC in KC was due to the decrease of absolute number of neutrophil rather than the increase of lymphocyte. The results indicated that KC have significantly higher number of neutrophils, and proportion of MHC class II and B cell than HC.

연구배경 : Mycobacteria 감염에 의한 폐결핵은 세포매개성 면역 반응이 관계한다고 알려져 있는 바, 먼저 Mycobacteria가 흡입되면 T 임파구가 활성화되어 세포매개성 면역 반응을 나타낸다. 결핵환자에서 tuberculin-purified protein derivative에 대한 피부 면역반응은 주로 세포매개성 면역반응에 의해 이루어짐으로 활동성 폐결핵 환자에서는 양성반응을 나타내어야하나 활동성 폐결핵 환자에서도 음성반응(anergy)을 나타내는 경우가 있다. 저자들은 폐결핵 환자에서 말초혈액 및 기관지 폐포세액내의 임파구의 세포조성과 이들이 피부반응에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 활동성 폐결핵 환자에서의 PPD에 대한 피부반응 검사상 음성으로 나타나는 이유를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 11명의 정상대조군, 20명의 활동성 폐결핵 환자를 대상으로 PPD에 대한 피부 반응 검사 및 말초 혈액 및 기관지 폐포세척액의 임파구의 아형을 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) 기관지 폐포세척액내의 임파구는 환자군에서 정상대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가되어 있었고($25.2{\pm}4.8$ vs $6.6{\pm}1.3%$, p<0.01), 단구세포(monocyte)는 환자군에서 정상 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 감소되어 있었다($69.6{\pm}5.7$ vs $89.2{\pm}1.4%$, p<0.05). 2) PPD에 대한 양성 반응을 보인 환자군과 음성 반응을 보인 환자군 사이의 기관지 폐포세척 세포 조성의 비는 차이가 없었다. 3) 환자군에서 기관지 폐포세척액 내의 $CD3^+$, $CD4^+$ 임파구의 조성비는 말초혈액보다 유의하게 증가되어 있었고($CD3^+$: $76.56{\pm}2.18$ vs $57.59{\pm}2.17%$, p<0.001; $CD4^+$: $51.24{\pm}2.33$ vs $35.20{\pm}2.32%$, p<0.005), $CD3^+IL-2R^+$, $CD3^+HLA-DR^+$ 임파구의 조성비도 말초혈액보다 증가되어 있었다($CD3^+IL-2R^+$:$2.41{\pm}0.57$ vs $0.93{\pm}0.16%$, p<0.005; $CD3^+$ HLA-$DR^+$: $16.92{\pm}3.89$ vs $3.94{\pm}0.70%$, p<0.005). 4) 환자군중 PPD에 대한 양성반응을 보인 군과 음성반응을 보인 군 사이에는 기관지 폐포세척액내의 임파구의 조성의 차이 및 수에서 차이가 없었다. 5) 환자군에서 PPD에 대한 피부반응과 기관지 폐포세척 세포의 조성비 사이에는 모두 상관관계가 없었으며, PPD에 대한 피부반응과 기관지 폐포세척액 및 말초 혈액내의 임파구아형의 조성과도 상관관계가 없었다. 결론 : 결론적으로 기관지 폐포세척액내의 염증 세포와 세포매개성 면역 반응과는 직접적인 관계가 없음을 알수 있었으며, 활동성 폐결핵 환자에서의 지연성 피부 반응의 저하는 임파구의 구획에 의한 결과라는 것을 배제할 수 없었다.

목적: 위암환자에서 면역기능이 암 발생과 치료후의 예후와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 본 연구에서는 위암 환자에서 수술 전 말초혈액내 림프구 수와 예후와의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 1999년까지 10년 동안 위선암으로 근치적 수술을 받은 환자들 중에서 수술 전 백혈구 수와 림프구 수를 확인할 수 있었던 1,054명의 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 결과: 대상환자 중 림프구 수가 1,500/ul 미만인 환자는 289명이었고 1,500/ul 이상인 환자는 765명이었다. 60세 이상의 환자에서(P<0.001), 종양의 크기가 5 cm 이상의 경우에 림프구 수가 통계학적으로 유의하게 낮았고(P<0.001), 병기에 따라서 림프구 수가 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P=0.038). 단변량 분석 결과 림프구 수가 1,500/ul 미만인군의 5년 및 10년 생존율은 각각 72.4%, 63.5%였고, 림프구수가 1,500/ul 이상인 군의 5년 및 10년 생존율은 각각 80.1%, 76.6%로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(P=0.002). 그러나 다변량 분석 결과 림프구 수에 따른 생존율은 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 근치적 위절제술을 받은 위암환자의 수술 전 말초혈액의 림프구 수의 측정은 쉽고 간편하게 할 수 있고 림프구 수에 따라서 예후에 유의한 차이가 있으나 독립적인 예후 인자로서의 가치는 없는 것으로 생각된다.

Effects of different photoperiod regimens on the cellular and humoral immunity in broiler chickens were studied(Exp 1). Total one hundred ninety two one-day-old commercial broiler chicks(Cobb$\times$Cobb) were raised between constant lighting(CL) and intermittent lighting (1h light: 3h darkness(IL; 1l; 3D) Body weight, feed intake and feed conversion were measured for seven week. Peripheral blood and splenic lymphocyte activities were tested at 3 and 5 wk of age by performing a mitogen cellproliferation assay with a polyclonal T-cell mitogen, concanavalin A (Con A), and B-cell mitogen, lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To investigate the effect of photoperiod on the humoral immunity, chicks were immunized with sheep red blood cell(SRBC) and iinactivated Newcastle disease virus(NDV) vaccine. Total immunoglobulin G(IgG) concentration was also determined. Diurnal change of melatonin was tested in sera. In experiment 2, 0.1ml melatonin were subcutaneously injected from three to five weeks old if immunomodulation effect of lighting regimen was due to the melatonin or not. Injections of melatonin were made at 0700h and the dosage was 10ng (M2), 100ng(M3), 1$\mu\textrm{g}$(M4) per bird daily, respectively. control were quivalent injections of vehicle(M1). Lymphocyte activities were tested and humoral immunities were examined at 5 weeks of age. Blood melatonin concentration was determined at 0h, 1, h, 2h, and 3h posterior to injection at five weeks old. It was higher in CL chicks than IL chickens during the subsequent period of 3 to 5 wk of age. However, weight gain of chicks raised IL were significantly higher at 6 wk of age than CL(P<0.05). Antibody response to NDV was not affected by both photoperiod regimens and melatonin injection, whereas anti-SRMB titer and IgG concentration were enhanced. Lymphocyte activity of chickens raised under IL was sighificantly higher than those of chickens raised under CL. Melatonin injection also increased lymphocyte activity. When peripheral blood lymphocytes were used, proliferation response to LPS and Con A were significantly increased in M2 and respectively. The results of this experiments suggest that IL improved host immune response and melatonin have immunomodulatory roles.

The purpose of this study is to detect certain change in peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations in women with premature ovarian failure. The B cells, T cells and subsets were counted in 21 women with premature ovarian failure and 30 age-matched normal control women. The B cells were measured by identifying lymphocyte with surface membrane immunoglobulin and T cells and subsets by indirect immunofluorescence technique with the monoclonal antibodies OK T3, OK T4, and OK T8. The results were as follows. 1. No significant difference in the absolute number of B cells, T cells and subsets between women with premature ovarian failure and normal control women was observed. 2. The percentage of B cells, T cells and OK T8(+) cells in women with premature ovarian failure was not significantly different from that in normal control subjects respectively. 3. The percentage of OK T4(+) cells and OK T4/0K T8(+) ratio was significantly higher in women with premature ovarian failure than in control subjects.

Suppression of cellular immunity is the host responses to surgical stress. When the body is exposed to surgical stress, decreased immunocyte function is one of the surgical stress-induced biologic responses. In all patients exposed to the surgical stress, peripheral blood lymphocyte numbers and function were suppressed until at least 2 weeks postoperatively. This immunosuppression was mainly due to a decrease of helper-inducer T cells, cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and an increase of suppressor T cells. The blood levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) cytokine increase in response to surgical stress and cause an increase of so-called acute phase reactants, including C-reactive protein(CRP). In the previously damaged patients group, expected to early stress expose, immunosuppression was more developed than other normal groups. Cellular immunosuppression by surgical stress was mainly due to an increase of lymphocyte subsets that depress cellular immunity coupled with a decrease of the subsets that promote it. Overproduction of CRP in response to surgical stress may play an important role in the development of immunosuppression.

The effect of immune activation by Echinacea purpurea was investigated by measuring total immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgM. and the radioprotective effect of immune activation by Echinacea purpurea was investigated by measuring T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of mice following whole body irradiation. Echinacea purpurea activated macrophages to stimulate $IFN-{\gamma}$ production in association with the secondary activation of T lymphocytes, resulting in a decrease in IgG and IgM production. Cytokines released from macrophages in mouse peripheral blood after Echinacea purpurea administration activated helper T cells to proliferate. In addition, activated macrophages in association with the secondary T lymphocyte activation increased $IFN-{\gamma}$ production and stimulated proliferation of cytotoxic T cells and suppressor T cells, indicating the activation of cell-mediated immune responses.

There are several data in the literature indicating a great variety of pharmacological activities of Polypodium genus, which exhibit antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Since one of our main interests is to obtain natural immunoregulatory agents devoid of pharmacological adverse effects, we used flow cytometry analysis to highlight relative contributions of a water-soluble fraction of different concentrations of Polypodium rhizome extracts on lymphocyte subpopulations, NK and LAK activity. To measure their potential immunoregulatory activity a T cell proliferation assay in response to phytohemaglutinin (PHA) and mixed lymphocyte reactions were chosen. As a confirmatory bioassay we studied the effect of our extracts on CD45RO and CD95 antigen expressions. The results indicate that CD95 expression dramatically increases after peripheral blood lymphocyte activation and treatment with Polypodium leucotomus, cambricum and vulgare extracts, suggesting a powerful intrinsic pro-apoptotic effect.

The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid-exchanges in peripheral blood lymphocyte of 44 nurses handling anticancer drugs were compared with those in 44 age-match controls. The frequencies of dicentric chrdmosome were $2.4\times 10^{-3}$ in the exposed and $0.5\times 10^{-3}$ in the control. The frequencies of sister cromatid exchanges in the exposed were slightly higher (5.68 SCEs/cell) than those in the control (5.04 SCEs/cell). The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and sister cromatid exchanges were not associated with duration of drug handling and types of anticancer drugs, but associated with use of safety cover.

Cytogenetic and hematological analysis was performed in peripheral blood from the cattle associated with abnormal delivery around nuclear power plant area. The frequency of micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood lymphocytes from cattle was used as a biomarker of radiobiological effects resulting from exposure to environmental radiation. An estimated dose of radiation was calculated by best fitting linear-quadratic model based on the radiation-induced MN data over the range from 0 Gy to 4 Gy from the bovine lymphocytes with in vitro irradiation. MN rates in live malformed calf, dams of malformed calves and other cattle living in the same barn from the regions around nuclear power plant, and cattle in control area were 9/1000, 10.8/1000, 13.3/1000 and 10.0/1000, respectively. There were no significant differences in MN frequencies and hematological values between the cattle associated with abnormal delivery around nuclear power plant area and those of control area. This study indicates that the congenital abnormalities near nuclear power plant seemed to be caused by other aetiology.
