Abstract
By means of cytotoxicity studies with antiserum to “T” cells, certain patterns of heterogenecity of “T” cell populations (Thymus-dependent) in normal persons and those with immunedeficient states, have become evident. Quantitation of “T” cells in peripheral blood has also become possible.
By means of immunoenzyimatic staining of immunoglobulin receptors on “B”-cell (Thymus-independent), membranes, a method of “B” cell quantisation is described in newborns, and patients with immune deficiencies. These new technics allow for better delineation of the immune status by studies of the lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. It also demonstrates immune deficiency patterns in conditions previously not shown to have involvement of the Immune System.
