  • Title: Immunological status in Huntington's disease.
    Author: Fiszer U, Piotrowska K, Korlak J, Członkowska A.
    Journal: Funct Neurol; 1991; 6(2):159-64. PubMed ID: 1833292.
    Abstract:
    The immunological status of patients with Huntington's disease was studied and compared with that of an age-matched control group. No remarkable abnormalities in lymphocyte subpopulations were observed. The percentage of B cells, CD4+, CD8+, DR+ cells and stimulated cells bearing Tac receptors remained unchanged. The proliferative response to mitogens and the production of interleukin-1 (Il-1) were decreased, whereas the IgG level was increased. It is possible that changes in the levels of neurotransmitters affect the immunological function in basal ganglia disease.
