During cultivation, antiCD3 mAb, PMA and ionomycin were used for AICD of PBL-Ts.AICD ratio of PBL-Ts was detected with TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling and assessed by flow cytometry.RESULTS: When induced with anti-CD3, PMA and ionomycin in vitro, AICD ratio of PBL-Ts from CHB patients was significantly higher than that from healthy control (17.24±1.21VS. 6.63±1.00, P＜0.01) and that from CHB patients without induction (17.24±1.21 VS. 9.88±1.36, P＜0.0L). There was a similar AICD ratio of PBL-Ts between induction group and without induction group, but no difference was found before and after induction in healthy control. The density of INF-γ in culture media of induction groups of CHB was lower than that of other groups (P＜0.01). There was no difference between these groups in density of IL-10 (P＞0.05).CONCLUSION: When induced during cultivation in vitro,PBL-Ts from CHB have AICD very commonly. This phenomenon has a potentially important relation with pathogenesis of CHB and chronicity of HBV infection.展开更多
