CD4, CD8 cells may help regulate Th1/Th2 immune responses during infection.
2004 NOV 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- According to recent research from India, "Human genital infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis is thought to be immunologically mediated, resulting in local recruitment of lymphocyte subsets and inducing the production of cytokines.
"Little information is available about the role of lymphocyte recruitment and the regulation of cytokine production in the genital tract of C. trachomatis positive infertile women."
B.S. Reddy at the Institute of Pathology, ICMR, in New Delhi, India, and colleagues "evaluated the recruitment of lymphocyte subsets in the genital tract and production of Th1/Th2 cytokines in cervical secretions and laparoscopic specimens from the fallopian tubes of C. trachomatis positive infertile women (n=17) and compared them with controls, viz. C. trachomatis negative infertile women (n=20) using ELISA and flow cytometry."
The patients weren't coinfected with any of the following in the cervix: Candida spp., bacterial vaginosis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma hominis, or Ureaplasma urealyticum.
"Flow cytometric analysis of cervical secretions in Chlamydia positive women revealed recruitment of both CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes to the genital tract was up-regulated and a variation in the production rates of different cytokines in cervical secretions and fallopian tube was observed," reported Reddy and ...
