The purpose of this study was to assess the properties of CD4+CD25(high/low/negative) T cell subsets and analyze their relation with dendritic cells (DCs) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In HCC patients, the prevalence of CD45RO+ cells in CD4+CD25(high) T cells was increased and associated with higher frequencies of plasmacytoid DCs. Larger proportions of this T cell subset were detected in the patients with larger tumor burdens. These results suggest that increased frequencies of the CD45RO+ subset in CD4+CD25(high) Tregs in HCC patients may establish the immunosuppressive environment cooperatively with tolerogenic plasmacytoid DCs to promote disease progression of liver cancer.

Objective: To investigate the application and clinical significance of different memory phenotypes of γδ T-cell subsets in the clinical diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: In total, 42 patients with tuberculosis (TB) according to the diagnostic criteria for tuberculosis (WS288-2017) who were treated at the Infectious Diseases Hospital affiliated with Soochow University from February 2023 to July 2023 were enrolled. Additionally, 16 patients with latent TB infection (LTBI) and 20 healthy controls (HCs) were included.

Objective: To investigate the frequencies and subset distribution of peripheral helper (Tph) T cells in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and explore the pathogenesis of ITP.
Methods: A total of 25 newly diagnosed ITP patients treated in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January to December 2022 were selected, and 25 healthy volunteers (age- and sex-matched) were recruited as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the subsets of CD4 T cells and Tph cells.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods are widely used in life sciences, including immunology. Typical scRNA-seq analysis pipelines quantify the abundance of particular transcripts without accounting for alternative splicing. However, a well-established pan-leukocyte surface marker, CD45, encoded by the gene, presents alternatively spliced variants that define different immune cell subsets.

Article Synopsis
- Alloreactive T-cell responses can lead to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplants, negatively impacting patient health by causing increased morbidity and mortality.
- However, these T-cells can also target remaining tumor cells in a beneficial way, contributing to the graft-versus-tumor effect (GVT) which helps prevent cancer relapse.
- The text discusses a method for identifying alloreactive naïve and memory T cells through co-culturing with antigen-presenting cells, using a CFSE dilution technique to track activation, which can then be analyzed for further research.
