English term or phrase: transferrin receptor-positive lymphocytes
...The High-Anxious group had a higher number of T4 1 cells, a low number of T8 1 suppressor/cytotoxic cells, and a higher T41/T8 1 ratio than the Low Anxious-mood group. These results were not attributable to variation in disease severity. This finding is in contrast with psychologically-distressed, healthy individuals and corresponds to changes noted in MS exacerbations. The data suggest that psychologically distressed patients with MS show disease-related patterns to a greater extent than non-distressed patients with MS. Foley et al. 39 examined psychological distress and immune functioning in 22 patients with MS, chronic-progressive type, participating in a placebo-controlled trial of cyclosporine. Immune measures included percentages and absolute numbers of CD21, CD41, CD81, Leu-11-b, HLA-DR (IA1) and transferrin receptor-positive lymphocytes (TrR+). Depression was measured with the CES–D scale, and neurological disability was assessed with the EDSS. Subjects were followed up for 2 years, and High-Depressed episodes and Low-Depressed episodes were compared. Times of greater depression were associated with lower CD81 percentage and a higher CD4/CD8 ratio. CD4 1 cell numbers and percentage were higher when subjects were depressed (only in the placebo group). “CD4 1’s” are considered to be helper/inducer cells, and CD8 1 cells are thought to be suppressor/ cytotoxic. There was no difference in EDSS scores when subjects were more depressed. The authors concluded that distress is associated with immune dysregulation in...
