摘要
The role of T lymphocytes was assessed in patients with food-sensitive atopic dermatitis (AD). T lymphocytes plus monocytes responded well to ovalbumin or bovine serum albumin (BSA) in children with AD who were sensitive to hen's egg or cow's milk compared with healthy children and children with immediate allergic symptoms who are sensitive to hen's egg or cow's milk. The responding cells were shown to be predominantly CD4+ T lymphocytes. Interleukin-2 activity and interferon-gamma concentrations in culture supernatants of ovalbumin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with AD who were sensitive to hen's egg were significantly higher than those of healthy children and patients sensitive to hen's egg with immediate symptoms. Expression of Fc is-an-element-of R II on B lymphocytes in cultures of ovalbumin-stimulated PBMCs from patients with AD was significantly higher than that of healthy children, but it tended to be lower than that of patients with immediate symptoms. These results suggest that, in patients with AD who are food sensitive, CD4+ T lymphocytes stimulated by food antigens secrete lymphokines such as interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma that are secreted from TH1 clones in mice, and express Fc is-an-element-of R II on B lymphocyte that is induced by interleukin-4 secreted from TH2 clones in mice. Taken together, cell-mediated immunity may also occur in addition to IgE-mediated hypersensitivity in patients with food-sensitive AD.
