Rôle des lymphocytes cytotoxiques dans les hypersensibilités retardées cutanées / Role of cytotoxic cells in skin delayed hypersensitivities

Nosbaum, Audrey 23 September 2013 (has links)
Les hypersensibilités retardées (HSR) cutanées sont hétérogènes, à la fois par la nature des mécanismes impliqués (allergiques versus non allergiques) mais aussi par les différents degrés de sévérité rencontrés. Seules les HSR allergiques sont dues à la présence de lymphocytes T (LT), mal caractérisés chez l'homme. Le but de ce travail est d'étudier la contribution des LT CD8 cytotoxiques dans le développement et la sévérité des HSR cutanées chez l'homme, à partir de deux pathologies fréquentes : les toxidermies aux béta lactamines et l'eczéma allergique de contact à la para-phénylènediamine (PPD). Tout d'abord, la présence de LT spécifiques de médicament au sein des toxidermies aux béta lactamines a été recherchée in vivo et in vitro. Nous avons montré que les HSR sévères étaient plus souvent d'origine allergique que les HSR bénignes. Nous avons ensuite caractérisé le rôle des LT CD8 dans les HSR allergiques. Dans les toxidermies bénignes à l'amoxicilline, l'étude de la cinétique de recrutement des LT au niveau cutané ainsi que l'analyse des LT spécifiques du sang circulant ont permis de mettre en évidence le rôle essentiel des LT CD8 cytotoxiques dans l'initiation de ces réactions. Ensuite, dans l'eczéma allergique de contact à la PPD, un recrutement épidermique précoce des LT CD8 associés à des marqueurs de cytotoxicité, a été retrouvé, corrélé avec la sévérité des lésions. Ces résultats ont été confortés par ceux obtenus dans un modèle pré-clinique d'HSR allergique à la PPD chez la souris. En conclusion, ce travail montre que les LT CD8 cytotoxiques pourraient être les principales cellules effectrices des HSR cutanées allergiques chez l'homme / Skin delayed hypersensitivity (DHS) are heterogeneous, by the nature of the mechanisms involved (allergic versus non allergic) and also by their different degrees of severity. Only allergic DHS is due to T cells, poorly characterized in humans. The aim of this work is to study the contribution of cytotoxic CD8 T cells in the development and severity of skin DHS in humans, induced by two common diseases: cutaneous adverse drug reactions to beta lactam antibiotics and allergic contact dermatitis to para-phenylenediamine (PPD). First, the presence of drug specific T cells in cutaneous adverse drug reactions to beta lactams was investigated in vivo and in vitro. We showed that severe DHS were more often allergic than benign DHS. Then, we characterized the role of CD8 T cells in allergic DHS. In benign cutaneous adverse drug reactions to amoxicillin, the study of the kinetics of skin T cell recruitment as well as the analysis of circulating specific T cells highlight the essential role of cytotoxic CD8 T cells in the initiation phase of these reactions. In allergic contact dermatitis to PPD, early recruitment of epidermal CD8 T cells associated with cytotoxic markers was found, correlated with the severity of lesions. These results were supported by those obtained in a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis to PPD. In conclusion, this work showed that cytotoxic CD8 T cells could be the main effector cells of allergic skin DHS in humans

Polyaniline and Its Derivatives for Environmental Analysis.

Abia, Atogho Jude 15 August 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Electrooxidation has been used to deposit thin film polyaniline as well as its derivative - thin film poly (ortho-phenylenediamine) (POPD) and poly (meta-phenylenediamine) (PMPD) on carbon electrodes, which are subsequently used to monitor the environmental heavy metal ions (Hg2+, Pb2+ ,Cd2+) through a rather unusual "blocking" of anodic stripping for these metals. Using Hg2+ as a model, its cyclic voltammogram for a modified glassy carbon electrode with the resultant polymer shows an enhanced cathodic peak that increases linearly with the analyte ion concentration. POPD also exhibits unique selective detection for organic species. Acetaminophen and uric acid can be preferentially detected over ascorbic acid from a mixture of these three compounds. In addition, the effect of carbon nanotubes incorporated in polyaniline (PAN) film is observed to have enhanced electrochemical catalytic activities on the remedy of environmental dichromate.
