Title of your Abstract : Study of the frequency of different CD8+ T cell subsets in patients with Multiple sclerosis
Venue : Italy milan
From : Wednesday, August 21, 2013
To : Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects several million people worldwide and more than 50000
individuals in Iran which is now increasing at an alarming rate. Most prior reports have focused on the role of CD4+ T cells and their subsets in the pathogenesis of the
disease, but recent evidence points to an important role of CD8+ T cells comes from their dominance in white matter lesions in the CNS. In addition, like CD4+ T cells,
CD8+ T cell subsets with distinct cytokine patterns: Tc1, Tc2 and Tc17, were described in mice and humans. However, the role of these T cell subsets in the pathogenesis of
MS has been less investigated.
In this study we analyzed the frequency of CD8+ T cell subsets in Multiple sclerosis patients with different clinical patterns, RRMS (n=18), SPMS (n=10) and PPMS (n=4)
using a Multi color flowcytometric assay in comparison with healthy age‐ and gender‐match controls (n=10). We found that Tc1 cells significantly increased in SPMS
patients and patients in relapse phase. Moreover, our data showed significantly increased frequency of Tc17 cells in relapse patients as compared with remission and
healthy controls. These data demonstrate the contribution of different CD8+ T cell subsets in active MS phases

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : I attended sessions talking on MS. According to the request of the head of scientific committee of 12th congress of Immunology in Iran, I invited the Best speakers in MS sessions for the Immunology congress in Iran.
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : no thanks. I invited some speakers in MS sessions for the Immunology congress in Iran. The scientific committee of 12th congress of Immunology will follow the invitations.
The 15th International Congress of Immunology held on every 3 years in different countries in the world wit high sciemtific level.The congress is usually scheduled for 5 days and
different sessions of meeting are planned for different audiences such as plenary lectuers, workshops, lunchtime lectures and so on.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : There was not any problem for providing ticket but not having a credit card was a problem for reserving hotel.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The 15th International Congress of Immunology held on every 3 years in different countries in the world with high scientific level. The congress is usually scheduled for 5 days and different sessions of meeting are planned for different audiences such as plenary lectuers, workshops, lunchtime lectures and so on.
Research in iran is not as serious as other countries. attending these congresses is very helpful gaining motivation to work hard and better.
the companies exhibition area in the congress base floor was also very useful for getting familiar with new technologies in clinical laboratory and research immunology. Organizing of tha congress was great. there were seven satellite meetings, organized in conjunction with the 15th ICI at different Italian locations.
