Mozrzymas; Stanistaw Miękisz Using the patch-clamp technique, we studied the differences in whole-cell potassium conductance (gκ + ) in T lymphocytes (TL) from three groups of patients suffering from renal failure: not dialyzed...

..., erythropoietin (EPO) may also have immunomodulating properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of EPO on lectin-induced T-lymphocyte transformation in uremic patients, as part of its effect on the immune response. Sixteen HD patients and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were compared...

... monitored T lymphocyte (Tc) subsets, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), total leukocytes (WBC) and IgG. After 3 vaccine doses of 40 and 20 IU, respectively, for P and C, at 0,1 and 6 months, 11 P (61.1%) and all C (100%) responded, as in previous reports [1-3]. The 7 NR presented lower CD4 + Tc...
