Different Expression of CD_(21) on Peripheral Blood B Lymphocytes in Children in Different Age Periods / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the expression of CD_(21) on peripheral blood B lymphocytes in different age periods.Methods All the cases was divided into newborn group,infant group and children group.The expression of CD_(21) on B lymphocytes were analyzed by the flow cytometry.Results 1.The number of CD_(21) on B lymphocytes of newborn group were obviously lo-(wer) than those in other two groups;and with growth of a child,the numer tended to grow up.2.Mean fluorescence intension(MFI),the expression of CD_(21) on B lymphocyte,also had the characteristic of increase with the age.Conclusions With the growing up of a child,the expression of CD_(21) on B lymphocyte has the tendency of up-regulation;which conforms to the feature of immune system development in childhood.Because of the higher expression of CD_(21) on B lymphocyte in certain age,it has the sensitivity to Epstein-Barr virus infection for children.
