Interrelation of lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood under cervical papillomavirus infection (original) (raw)

Abstract

T(CD3+)-, B(CD19+)-lymphocytes and their subsets (CD4+, CD8+, CD3+, DR+, CD3− DR+) in peripheral blood of patients with CIN I, CIN II, CIN III and cancer_in situ_ associated with HPV infection were evaluated. In peripheral blood of women with CIN II, CIN III and cancer_in situ_ the number of T-lymphocytes which expressed CD3+ DR+ antigen decreased. In patients with CIN I, CIN III and cancer_in situ_ the level of the CD4+ cells decreased; the level of the CD8+ cells increased. These patients had a lower CD4/CD8 ratio, the number of B cells being standard. The results may have important implications in the prognosis and immunotherapy of HPV infection.
