Mnohočetný myelom (MM) je onemocnění plazmatických buněk (PC), které bývá často spojeno s poruchami imunity. Fenotypizace a stanovení počtu regulačních T lymfocytů (Tregs) pomocí průtokové cytometrie může být využito k monitorování stavu imunity u myelomových pacientů. Charakterizace funkčního stavu Tregs pomocí proliferačních či inhibičních testů pak může odhalit jejich možnou poruchu. V naší studii bylo zjištěno, že u pacientů s MM jsou počty Tregs zvýšeny oproti zdravým kontrolám, což u těchto pacientů svědčí o deregulaci imunity.

Klíčová slova:
Treg buňky – flow cytometrie – mnohočetný myelom – thalidomid
