In this study, we aimed to elucidate the interaction of effector cells, mainly Th17, Th1 and Th2, and regulatory cells including (CD4 CD25 CD127 ) T reg cells and phenotypes of B regs, CD19 CD24 CD38 , CD19 CD24 CD27 and CD19 CD5 CD1d . Bronchoalveolar lavage cells (BAL) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from stable lung transplanted (LTx )subjects ( = 4), AR patients ( = 6) and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) ( = 6) were collected at the same time. Cellular subsets were detected through flow cytometry. A predominance of Th17 cells subtypes in the PBMCs and BAL and a depletion of Tregs, that resulted in decrease Treg/Th17 ratio, was observed in the AR group. CD19 CD24 CD38 Bregs resulted increased in BAL of AR patients. Th1 cells predominance and a reduction of Tregs cells was observed in BAL from AR patients. Moreover, multivariate analysis showed interdependences within studied variables revealing that effector cells and regulatory cells can effectively discriminate patients' immunological status. In AR, BOS and stable lung transplant, regulatory and effector cells clearly demonstrated different pathways of activation. Understanding of the balance of T cells and T and B regulatory cells can offers insights into rejection.
