(1)目的:多数重症肌无力(MG)患者可见作为烟碱样乙酰胆碱受体(nAChR)抗体(Ab)升高基础的抗原特异性辅助性T细胞(Th)增多,本研究目的在于探讨此类细胞的可能作用。(2)方法:设重症肌无力、其它神经科患者和正常对照三组。用体外测试的免疫酶点法,即以电鳗的AChRα-,β-,γ-,和δ-亚单位作为特异性抗原以及PPD和与多发性硬化相关的髓鞘碱性蛋白作为非特异性抗原,于抗原刺激后计数分泌γ干扰素(IFN-γ)的Th1细胞数。测定周围血中针对这些抗原的T细胞亚群计数。(3)结果:MG患者识别AChR四种亚单位的T细胞数均增高,依次为:1/25000,1/59000,1/83000和1/25000个细胞。65%MG患者的T细胞主要识别α-亚单位,有些则主要识别γ-和δ-亚单位。少数MG患者测不到对任何亚单位起反应的T细胞。(4)结论:MG患者中,AChR的四种亚单位均为通过分泌IFNγ的Th1样细胞自身免疫攻击的靶。
(1) Objective: In the majority of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), an increase in antigen-specific helper T cells (Th), which is the basis for elevated nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (Ab), is seen in this study Possible role of cells. (2) method: set myasthenia gravis, other neurological patients and normal control three groups. In vitro immunoenzymatic assays, ie, the use of AChRα-, β-, γ-, and δ-subunits of electric eels as specific antigens and PPD and myelin basic proteins associated with multiple sclerosis as nonspecific antigens The number of Th1 cells secreting gamma interferon (IFN-γ) was counted after antigen stimulation. T cell subsets counts against these antigens were determined in peripheral blood. (3) Results: The number of T cells recognizing AChR four subunits in MG patients were all higher: 1/25000, 1/59000, 1/83000 and 1/25000 cells. T cells in 65% of MG patients mainly recognize the α-subunit, while others mainly recognize γ- and δ-subunits. A small number of MG patients can not detect any subunit-responsive T cells. (4) CONCLUSIONS: Among the MG patients, all four subunits of AChR are targets of autoimmune attack by Th1-like cells secreting IFNγ.
