RESUMO
Neste estudo, a expressão de receptores de quimiocinas na superfície dos leucócitos circulantes foi feita pela citometria de fluxo. Houve aumento da porcentagem de linfócitos CCR2+CD4+ no sangue periférico dos pacientes com hanseníase. Este resultado preliminar sugeriu alteração do perfil dos receptores de quimiocinas desses pacientes.
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.
