Subjects
*CONFERENCES & conventions, *LYMPHOMAS, *T cells, *IMMUNOGLOBULINS, *B cells, *LYMPHOCYTES
Abstract

This article presents abstracts for various research papers to be presented in the European Society for Dermatological Research's symposium on September 26-28, 1997. These research papers pertain to subjects like the eortic classification for primary cutaneous lymphomas, different prognosis between cutaneous and systemic lymphoproliferative disorders, parapsoriasis and early cutaneous T cell lymphoma, immunoglobulin gene rearrangement of pseudo B-cell lymphomas and prognostic significance of polymerase chain reaction detectable dominant T lymphocyte clones.

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we evaluate the role of human γδ T cells in control of Francisella tularensis infection. Using an in vitro model of infection, a reduction in bacterial numbers was detected in the presence of human γδ T cells for both attenuated LVS and virulent SCHU S4 strains of F. tularensis. Antibody neutralisation of IFN-γ caused an increase in survival of F. tularensis LVS suggesting that γδ T cell-mediated control of F. tularensis infection is partially mediated by IFN-γ.
