Objective: To study on the dysfunction mechanism of the signaling transduction of neonatal umbilical cord blood lymphocytes, the proliferation, intracellular Ca++ concentration and phospholipase C γ1(PLCγ1) expression of lymphocytes induced by anti-CD3 antibodies were detected.

Methods:  3H-Thymidine incorporation was used to analyze the proliferative response; fluorospectrophotometer was used to detect intracellular Ca++ concentration and Western blot techque was performed to assess PLCγ1 expression.

Results: The proliferation and intracellular Ca++ concentration of neonatal umbilical cord blood lymphocytes induced by anti-CD3 antibodies was increased, but the proliferation was significantly lower and intracellular Ca++ concentration was slightly lower than that of adult. And the PLCγ1 expression of neonatal umbilical cord blood lymphocytes induced by anti-CD3 antibodies was markedly lower than that of the adult.

Conclusions: The dysfunction mechanism of the signaling transduction of neonatal umbilical cord blood lymphocytes maybe relate to lower PLCγ1 expression.
