Abstract:

Repeated blood transfusions in patients with β-thalassemia cause multiple antigenic stimuli that might change the Treg cells percentage. Tregs have become popular subjects of immunological research in recent years, because of their critical role in maintenance of immunological self tolerance and negative control of pathological and physiological immune response. The aim of work was to study the expression of CD4, CD25 in transfusion dependent beta thalassemia patient.

Keywords:

Beta thalassemia, Treg cells, non-hemolytic febrile reaction.
