Abstract
Objective To determine the production and frequencies of M. tuberculosis antigen-specific CD8
+
memory T cells from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and individuals with latent infection. Methods A total of 24 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who were hospitalized in No. 309 Hospital from November to December 2009 and 22 individuals with latent infection who were outpatients during same time period were recruited in the study. The
ir PBMCs were stimulated with M. tuberculosis antigen ESAT-6. The CD8
+
memory T cell subsets were analyzed by CD8
CD107a
CCR7 and CD45RA staining and flow cytometry. Results CD8
+
antigen-specific T cells were detected based on surface CD107a expression following antigen stimulation. Analysis of antigen-specific CD8 memory T cells from 24 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and 22 individuals with latent infection showed that the frequencies of the CD45RA-positive CD8
+
memory T cell (T
EMRA
) subset were significantly increased [(59.94±3.87)% vs (46.65±2.88)%
P=0.020 3
]
and the frequencies of CD8
+
memory T cell (T
EM
) subset were significantly decreased [(38.14±3.87)% vs (52.34±2.95)%
P=0.014 2
]
in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis
compared with individuals with latent infection. Conclusion There are significant difference in frequencies of antigen-specific CD8
+
T
EMRA
and T
EM
among people with active pulmonary tuberculosis and latent infection
which may be correlated with antigen load in vivo and antigen specific cellular immune responses.
