Análise de receptores de quimiocinas na superfície de leucócitos circulantes de indivíduos infectados pelo Mycobacterium leprae: resultados preliminares

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, the expression of chemokine receptors on the surface of circulating leukocytes was determined using flow cytometry. An increase in the percentage of CCR2+CD4+ lymphocytes was observed in the peripheral blood of leprosy patients. This preliminary data suggests that alterations occur in the chemokine receptor profile of these patients.
