ABSTRACT

Objective To explore changes and its clinical significa nce of lymphocyte activation in patients with multiple sclerosis. Methods CD3、CD4、CD8、CD19、CD16+56、CD25、CD69、HLA-DR in peripheral blood (PB) were tested by flow cytometry. Results The percentage of CD3、CD4、CD8、CD16+56 on PB lymphocytes in MS group were lower than those in controls, CD4/CD8、CD19 on PB lymphocytes in MS group were higher than in controls. The percentage of CD69、CD25、HLA-DR、CD3/HLA-DR on PB lymphocytes of patients with relapse MS group were higher in controls and remission MS groups. The percentage of CD3/HLA-DR on PB lymphocytes of patients with remission MS group was higher than controls. Conclusion The content on PB lymphocytes in MS group were unusual. The lymphocyte activation was much higher and may be as a marker of MS.
