Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the changes of effector-related phenotypic markers and the natural killer (NK)-like effector functions of CD8(bright)CD56+ T cells in patients with Behçet uveitis after combined cyclosporine and prednisone (Cs/Pd) treatment. METHODS: Ten patients with active Behçet panuveitis and 10 healthy controls were prospectively recruited in this study. The effector-related surface markers (CD27,...
