Cytokines and Growth Factors
The cytokines used in
the T cell line includes,
GM-CSF, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6
and IL-7. These are
used from the
pluripotent stem cell
until the cell reaches
the T Lymphoblast
stage, then cell
development is antigen
driven.
Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia: increase of
the lymphoblast cells
in a peripheral smear.
Infectious
mononucleosis:
viral infection,
presence of 50%
lymphocytes with at
least 10% atypical
lymphocytes
Prolymphocytic
Leukemia: A type of
chronic lymphocytic
leukemia.
Bone Marrow Aspiration: Increase of mature
small lymphocytes indicates chronic lymphocytic
leukemia.
Peripheral Smear: Reactive Lymphocytes are a
clear indication of infections (particularly viral
and rickettsia infections, whooping-cough
(pertussis), bacterial infections in infants and
young children. infections in infants and young
CBC: If the number of T cells is abnormally
decreased, this is an indication of AIDS. In
conditions, such as infections and blood diseases,
there is an abnormal increase in T cells.
