BACKGROUND: Transfusion of blood products to immunoglobulin A (IgA)-deficient patients who have developed IgA antibodies can result in serious adverse reactions. To prepare compatible blood components for these patients, blood centers usually maintain a list of IgA-deficient blood donors. An in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to identify new IgA-deficient blood donors. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: An in-house ELISA was used to screen blood samples. IgA-deficient samples, defined as an IgA level below 0.05 mg per dL, were sent to the American Red Cross for confirmatory testing. RESULTS: Seventy-three confirmed IgA-deficient blood donors were identified among 38,759 screened blood donor samples (frequency, 1:531). IgA antibodies were found in 39 of these 73 blood donors (53%), although only 9 donors had a history of adult IgA exposure (transfusion or pregnancy). CONCLUSIONS: With a simple in-house ELISA, 73 blood donors were identified as IgA-deficient. From this number, 34 donors, without detectable anti-IgA in their plasma, were added to our IgA-deficient blood donor panel to maximize the management of our inventory of IgA-deficient frozen blood components. 相似文献

Diabetic patients with the disease duration less than 1 year (group 1 eight patients with diabetes mellitus type I and group 2 seven patients with diabetes mellitus type II) and 8 healthy donors were examined for subpopulations of lymphocytes (CD 3-, CD 4-, CD 8-, CD 20-positive cells, CD4/CD8), expression of activation markers on peripheral blood mononuclears investigated with monoclonal antibodies of BMA and OKT series, and serum neopterin concentration. Group I patients had low CD4/CD8 and increased number of CD 8 cells, 1a/DR-positive lymphocytes (28.6 +/- 7%), OKT9-positive lymphocytes (8.0 +/- 4.7%), activated neopterin synthesis registered neither in group 2 patients nor donors. The number of CD 3 and CD 4 cells was similar in the diabetics and donors. B-lymphocyte level in group 1 patients was on the decrease. Unbalance in lymphocyte subpopulations, increased expression of activation markers and of serum neopterin can be noted in viral infection reflecting impairment of immunoregulating mechanisms in diabetes mellitus type I. 相似文献

American blood donors seropositive for human T-lymphotropic virus types I/II exhibit normal lymphocyte subsets 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
HE Prince 《Transfusion》1990,30(9):787-790
Recent reports have demonstrated that some lymphocyte subsets are abnormal in Japanese blood donors who are seropositive for human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). To determine if similar changes characterize American blood donors who are seropositive for HTLV-I/II, lymphocyte subsets were measured in 42 HTLV-seropositive and 42 HTLV-seronegative blood donors. The seronegative individuals were matched by age, race, and gender to the seropositive individuals. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with a panel of 12 monoclonal antibody pairs and then analyzed by two-color flow cytometry. No significant differences were observed between the seropositive and seronegative groups with respect to the absolute number of circulating lymphocytes or the percentages of lymphocytes belonging to the subsets assessed. These subsets included B, T, CD4, and CD8 cells and subpopulations of CD4 and CD8 cells defined by the coexpression of markers that appear (CD25, HLA-DR, CD38) or disappear (Leu 8, CD45RA) after activation. These findings indicate that HTLV-seropositive persons in the American blood donor pool do not exhibit the lymphocyte subset alterations reported for HTLV-I-seropositive blood donors in Japan. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: To meet the transfusion requirements of IgA-deficient patients with anti-IgA, blood services screen random donors to identify potential donors of IgA-deficient blood components. New information reveals that some IgA-deficient persons may also be deficient in IgG2 and may be at increased risk for bacterial infections. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Serum samples from IgA-deficient blood donors and patients were tested for IgG2 concentration by radial immunodiffusion using monospecific anti-IgG2. RESULTS: Four (9.0%) of 44 IgA-deficient blood donors and 14 (31.5%) of 44 IgA-deficient patients had coexistent IgG2 and IgA deficiencies. Follow-up interviews with the 4 donors who had coexistent IgG2 and IgA deficiencies revealed that 3 had recurrent respiratory infections and had been hospitalized at least once for pneumonia. The fourth donor did not report a history suggestive of recurrent infections. CONCLUSION: Some blood donors, recruited specifically because they are IgA deficient, may also be deficient in IgG2. Persons identified by donor screening programs as being IgA deficient should be tested for IgG2. If deficient in IgG2, they should be evaluated for a history of recurrent bacterial infections and counseled accordingly. 相似文献

Short-term and long-term effects of plasmapheresis on serum proteins and immunoglobulins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to evaluate the short-term and long-term effects of plasmaapheresis on serum proteins and immunoglobulins, the levels of alpha1, alpha2, beta, and gamma globulins, and IgG, IgA, and IgM were measured and statistically evaluated in 41 active plasmapheresis donors donating 500 to 1,000 ml of plasma weekly for up to three years. During the initial four months of plasmapheresis, the percentage of alpha1 and alpha2 globulins manifested a statistically significant rise and the IgG, IgA, and IgM concentrations declined. By the end of ten months, only the IgM continued to be depressed. Although the concentration of IgM continued to show a statistically significant decline for three years, it remained well within the normal range of values for our laboratory. Although no statistically significant difference existed between the baseline value of albumin and the level reached at the end of the third year, a gradual rise was followed by a decline in this interval. Most of the statistically significant alterations of serum protein and immunoglobulins occurring in plasmapheresis donors are seen in the initial six months of plasmapheresis. A falling serum protein in this time period is most likely an indication of declining immunoglobulins. It is feasible and appropriate to measure the donor's total serum protein at the time of each plasmapheresis. Any untoward reduction in this value necessitates quantification of the serum immunoglobulins. Routine measurement of the immunoglobulins in the face of normal total serum protein can be performed on a less frequent basis as is presently recommended by accrediting agencies, although this study should be performed more often during the first six months of a serial plasmapheresis program. 相似文献

After a 2.5 h running test on eight healthy young males the lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were analyzed by flow cytometry. The analysis was carried out immediately post-exercise, after a 1 h and 3 h interval as well as a one day, a two day and five day interval. Lymphocyte subpopulations were also measured in five control subjects who did not exercise. Compared with the pre-exercise level the total lymphocyte and T-cell count was decreased 1 h and 3 h after the run and one and two days after exercise (p less than 0.01). The absolute number of monocytes and B-lymphocytes fell significantly (p less than 0.01) on the first and second day after exercise. No consistent change of helper-/suppressor-inducer T-lymphocytes (CD4+) and cytotoxic-suppressor T-cells (CD8+) cells was observed immediately after exercise. One and 3 h later, however, the absolute number of both cell types dropped below pre-exercise values (p less than 0.01). The decrease of the CD8+ cells was more pronounced, causing an increase of the CD4+ to CD8+ ratio (p less than 0.01). Among the CD4+ cells only the Leu 8+ subpopulation showed a relative increase 1 h after the exercise (p less than 0.01) while the Leu 8- population remained unaffected. 1 h and 3 h after the end of the run there was a significant fall of the absolute number and percentage of natural killer cells (Leu 7+) and cytotoxic T-cells (CD8+ Leu 7+) (p less than 0.01). These cells remained low during the first and second day after the exercise (p less than 0.01). In the control subjects the changes of cell counts for all cells examined were much smaller than in the runners. The results indicate that strenuous and prolonged exercise causes a delayed redistribution of lymphocyte subpopulations with a reduction of lymphocytes and particularly of natural killer and cytotoxic cells beginning 1 h after the exercise followed by a reduction of monocytes 24 h later. The percentage increase of CD4+ cells 1 h after the exercise could be explained by an increase of the CD4+ Leu 8+ subpopulation. 相似文献

Immunologic studies were carried out in a patient with polymyositis (PM), who showed increasing muscle strength and decreasing serum creatine phosphokinase levels during 20 weeks of treatment with plasmapheresis in conjunction with prednisone and cyclophosphamide. After an initial rise, serum IgG declined with treatment. Natural killer (NK) lymphocytes were reduced by 74%, B cells by 95%, and T cells by 38%. Spontaneous proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells increased dramatically. Within the CD4+ T cell subset there was increasing maturation as shown by a rise in percent mature (CD29+) cells and reciprocal decline of immature (CD45RA+) cells. At the same time CD4+ T cells became increasingly activated as shown by HLA-DR expression. The percentage of CD8+ T cells increased strongly with treatment, and they showed increased activation and expression of the cytotoxic CD29+ and CD11b- phenotypes. CD8+ T cells exhibiting CD45RA or CD11b+ suppressor phenotypes were overall unchanged; however, on follow-up a proportion of CD8+ cells expressed the activated suppressor effector (CD11b—CD28—) phenotype. In addition to control of PM by the possible deletion of activated autoreactive B and T lymphocyte clones with cyclophosphamide, the activation and maturation of CD4+ T cells during treatment may have downregulated the autoreactive disease process, either through direct antiidiotypic suppression or by induction of the observed increase in cytotoxic and suppressor CD8+ T cells. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Total lymphocyte count, lymphocyte cell-surface markers (OKT3, OKT4, OKT8, and B-1), serum complement factors (C3 and C4), immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgM), ceruloplasmin (Crl), and transferrin (Trf) were determined weekly for nine septic postoperative patients, all of whom had multiple organ-system failure. The peripheral blood total lymphocyte count, its subpopulation, T-cell subset, and proliferative responses of lymphocyte to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A) decreased in all patients. OKT3 and B-1 decreased progressively in the four nonsurvivors compared with the five survivors. Although immunoglobulin levels were within the normal range in both groups, they tended to increase in survivors and decrease in nonsurvivors. Serial levels of C3, C4, Crl, and Trf increased in survivors but did not change in nonsurvivors. T-cell function and antibody-producing activity diminished progressively in nonsurvivors. These changes in cellular immunity may represent another manifestation of multiple organ-system failure during sepsis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The possible effects of long-term plasma donation remain unknown, but it is important to investigate them so that donor safety is ensured. The purpose of this study was to determine if long-term plasma donation alters plasma proteins or lymphocyte phenotypes. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Two groups of long-term plasma donors, source plasma donors (n = 20) and Rh immune globulin plasma donors (n = 26), were compared with whole blood donors (n = 29) and nondonor controls (n = 30). Blood samples were obtained prior to donation. Serum protein, albumin, globulin, and immunoglobulin levels were determined. In an assay using whole blood, lymphocyte phenotypes were characterized with a panel of single- and dual-labeled monoclonal antibodies and subsequent analysis by flow cytometry. RESULTS: As compared to the nondonor controls and/or whole blood donors, the mean values for serum protein, globulin, and IgG levels were lower in both plasma donor groups, with a significant negative correlation between donation frequency and serum protein values for the source plasma donors. Albumin levels were within normal ranges for both groups of plasma donors. No significant differences existed among the donor groups in total white cell counts, the percentage or absolute number of lymphocytes, T (CD3) cells, or helper T (CD4) cells. However, there were increased percentages of B (CD19) cells and decreased percentages of suppressor T (CD8+/CD11b+) cells and natural killer cells in both groups of plasma donors as compared to nondonor controls. CONCLUSION: Many plasma donors have low levels of serum protein, globulin, and IgG. In addition, they have increased percentages of B cells and decreased percentages of suppressor T and natural killer cells. The clinical significance of these findings warrants further investigation. 相似文献
