Activated T Cells in the Surface Secretion on the Adenoid – a Flow Cytometric Study

Abstract: Ivarsson M, Lundin BS, Lundberg C. Activated T Cells in the Surface Secretion on the Adenoid ± a Flow Cytometric Study. Scand J Immunol 2002;56:310±314 We previously demonstrated the presence of leucocytes in the adenoid surface secretion with the ability of immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgM and IgG production as well as production of cells with phagocytic capacity. In the present study, we investigated the presence of activated T cells in the secretion.Adenoid surface secretion from 12 children subjected to aden… Show more

“…Both B-and T-cell-related immunologic processes are initiated in different specialized compartments of the palatine tonsils (32,33). Also, the adenoid is an active immunologic site in the nasopharyngeal region that harbors cells from both the innate and adaptive immune systems (34,35).…”

“…A successful interaction between CD28/CTLA4 on T cells and B7-1 or B7-2 on antigen-presenting cells is necessary for T cell activation [1,2,3]. The balance of CD28- and CTLA4-derived signals profoundly alters the outcome of T cell activation; CTLA4 plays a critical role in the downregulation of T cell responses and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the increased IgE response [4,5,6].…”
