Differing lymphokine profiles of functional subsets of human CD4 and CD8 T cell clones

Abstract: Functional subsets of human T cells were delineated by analyzing patterns of lymphokines produced by clones from individuals with leprosy and by T cell clones of known function. CD4 clones from individuals with strong cell-mediated immunity produced predominantly interferon-gamma, whereas those clones that enhanced antibody formation produced interleukin-4. CD8 cytotoxic T cells secreted interferon-gamma. Interleukin-4 was produced by CD8 T suppressor clones from immunologically unresponsive individuals with l… Show more

“…major T-cell subsets that regulate immune cell recruitment and proliferation through a program of cytokine production. 1,2 Based on the types of secreted cytokines, CD4 T-helper cells are further subdivided into T-helper 1 (Th1), Th2, Th17 and other subsets, making cytokine profiling an important part of determining Th phenotype. Importantly, cytokines secreted by T-cells have been reported to correlate with positive or negative disease outcomes and thus provide important diagnostic information.…”

“…Some studies showed that ENL, like T1R, is induced primarily by a T cell-mediated immune response (15,161). CD8+ clones derived from LL lesions secrete large amounts of IL-4 and minimal IFN-γ (162,163). In response to M. leprae or M. leprae antigens, lesion-derived CD8+ T cells do not proliferate and limit the proliferation and cytokine secretion of bystander T cells (162,163).…”

In response to M. leprae or M. leprae antigens, lesion-derived CD8+ T cells do not proliferate and limit the proliferation and cytokine secretion of bystander T cells (162,163). Thus, CD8+ T cells may induce M. leprae-specific T cell anergy (162,163).…”

“…Type 1 CD8 + T cells (Tc1) secrete IFN-γ, while type 2 CD8 + T cells (Tc2) mainly secrete IL-4 and IL-5 [94]. Although both effector cell subpopulations have been identified in human peripheral blood and in patients with various clinical disorders [95][96][97][98][99], their roles and effects on renal inflammation and fibrosis remain relatively undefined. We identified two CD8 + T cell subsets in a mouse model of UUO-induced renal fibrosis, Tc1 (CD44 + CD25 − CD62L − ) and Tc2 (CD44 + CD25 high CD62L low ), which exert diverse effects in building an inflammatory and profibrotic environment.…”
