Abstract

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) is a progressive and life-threatening disease characterized by persistent or recurrent EBV activation. It has been reported that, γδ T cells, a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte, play a critical role in restricting EBV. However, the functional status of γδ T cells in pediatric CAEBV patients has not yet been described. In this study, flow cytometry analysis was conducted to explore the cytokine production capacity of γδ T cells in CAEBV patients. A diminished frequency of γδ T cells and decreased expression of cytolytic molecule granzyme B were found in CAEBV patients, suggesting a dysfunction in the immune regulatory function of γδ T cells in this disease.

小儿慢性活动性 Epstein-Barr 病毒感染中 γδ T 细胞的功能障碍。

慢性活动性爱泼斯坦-巴氏病毒感染（CAEBV）是一种进行性和危及生命的疾病，其特点是持续或反复的 EBV 激活。据报道，γδ T 细胞是一种细胞毒性淋巴细胞，在限制 EBV 方面发挥着关键作用。然而，γδ T 细胞在小儿 CAEBV 患者中的功能状态尚未得到描述。本研究通过流式细胞术分析，探讨了 CAEBV 患者中 γδ T 细胞产生细胞因子的能力。研究发现，CAEBV 患者体内γδ T 细胞的频率降低，细胞溶解分子颗粒酶 B 的表达减少，这表明该疾病中γδ T 细胞的免疫调节功能失调。
