“…Serum SIRS, like urine SIRS, disappeared with steroid therapy. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that SIRS mediates immune suppression in these patients, since normalization of immune responses has been reported to occur with induction of remission in MCNS (18). Cultured PBMC from patients with SRNS secreted SIRS without requiring activation by exogenous agents.…”

“…This suggests that suppression of PFC responses by Con A or IFN is mediated primarily through the SIRS pathway. (16) and specific antibody titers (17), and suppression of delayed-type hypersensitivity to a variety of antigens ( 18). Increased suppressor cell activity ( 19) and suppressive activity of patient sera (20) In the present paper, serum SIRS activity was found in the same spectrum of diseases that manifest urinary excretion of SIRS.…”

“…In the current study evidence of inhibition of normal lymphoblastogenesis was found in patients with MCNS during relapse in comparison to normal control subjects with the exception of chronic renal failure group. Such evidence was noticed previously by other workers [6][7][8][9][10] who found depressed lymphocytic response to mitogenic stimulation in young children with MCNS.…”

“…The expression of the CD25 antigen during relapses suggests an activation of CD4+ T cells and/or a recruitment of CD4+ CD25+ T cells endowed with T-suppressive functions. The possible recruitment of the CD4+ CD25+ T cell subset during relapses, seems to agree with some findings showing decreased T cell-mediated immunity and reduced lymphocyte response to mitogens [29], but these studies deserve to be revisited in light of new knowledge. Of note, the immune dysfunction is not restricted to CD4+ T cells.…”
