Circulating CD4+CD8+ T lymphocytes in patients with Kawasaki disease

Abstract: SUMMARYWe serially monitored cell surface antigen expression on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood isolated from patients with Kawasaki disease (KD), and found, for the first time, that a markedly increased number of CD4 þ CD8 þ T lymphocytes was present in some of the patients (11 of the 24 cases). The cases of five of these 11 patients were complicated with coronary artery lesion (CAL); the 13 patients with normal numbers of CD4 þ CD8 þ T lymphocytes did not have CAL. The patients' age, sex and grade of s… Show more

“…The vast majority of DP-T cells arising in myeloma-infiltrated bones converted CD8ab heterodimer (expressed on SP-CD8 + T N prior to adoptive transfer into myeloma-bearing mice) to CD8aa homodimer. This phenotype makes the DP-T cells present in myelomainfiltrated bones similar to DP-T cells found in Hodgkin's lymphoma (29), Kawasaki's disease (33), and inflammatory bowel disease (34), but discriminates them from DP-T cells found in breast cancer and melanoma that express the CDab heterodimer (16,17). Functional studies on tumor-associated DP-T cells expressing CD8ab heterodimer or CD8aa homodimer are still lacking, precluding understanding of the physiological relevance of each particular cell subset.…”

“…12,31 The DP T cells that we observed in breast tumor samples were predominantly CD4 low CD8 high and CD8ab. This profile differentiates them from the CD4 high CD8 low DP T cells described in Hodgkin lymphoma, 31 Kawasaki disease 32 and in intestinal inflammatory bowel disease 33 and from intestinal DP T cells because these cells express the CD8aa homodimer.…”

“…They have also been found in patients with Kawasaki syndrome and Hodgkin lymphoma (35,36). Following transplantation, only a single study has described them in organ biopsies, but not formally demonstrated coexpression of CD4 and CD8 (37).…”
