1 The aim of the present study was to investigate the number and function of CD8+HLA-DR+ cells, which are considered to be activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), in peripheral blood to further examine the pathogenesis of severe aplastic anemia (SAA). saa CD8a molecule Homo sapiens
2 The proportion of CD8+HLA-DR+ T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry in peripheral blood and was identified to be significantly higher in untreated SAA than in remission patients and in the controls. saa CD8a molecule Homo sapiens
3 The expression of perforin, granzyme B, TNF-beta and FasL in CD8+HLA-DR+ T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry and PCR, which revealed increased expression in the untreated SAA group compared with that in the control group. saa CD8a molecule Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, the apoptosis of CD3- bone marrow cells from normal individuals was enhanced following co-culture with CD8+HLA-DR+ T cells from untreated SAA patients. saa CD8a molecule Homo sapiens
5 In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that CD8+HLA-DR+ T cells may contribute to bone marrow failure in SAA. saa CD8a molecule Homo sapiens
