Molecular and flow cytometric characterization of the CD4 and CD8 T‐cell repertoire in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
We studied 18 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), measuring clonality and T-cell receptor Vbeta (TCRBV) expression of CD4 and CD8 T cells by polymerase chain reaction and by flow cytometric analysis of TCRBV families. The CD4 and CD8 T-cell repertoire in most MDS patients is characterized by an abnormal TCRBV-restricted expansion of T cells in CD4 and CD8 cells, and increased expression of the CD8...
