Study on Effect on TCR/CD_3 Complex-mediated [Ca~(++)]i Responses in T Cells From Patients With SLE by Thapsigargin and EGTA / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To demonstrate that SLE T cells primary function disordor was related to abnormal [Ca 2+ ]i responses,and to investigate the reason of abnormal [Ca 2+ ]i responses.Methods After cross-linking of anti-CD 3 mAb to sheep anti-mouse IgG and stimulating T cells,the changes of free calciumion [Ca 2+ ]i within T cells under interference of Thapsigarain and EGTA was observed respectively successively for 10 minutes by an adhesion cytometry.The relation between [Ca 2+ ]i responses in SLE T cells and InsP 3 levels was evaluated .Results The basic [Ca 2+ ]i response in T cells from SLE patients was similar to that from normal control(P=0 105),peak and plateau [Ca 2+ ]i responses were significantly higher in the group of SLE patients(P
