Immunological responses in Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.

摘要: Cellular and humoral immune responses have been measured in patients with Sjogren's syndrome with, without, rheumatoid arthritis, sero-positive sero-negative a control group of patients. Several arthritis complicated by failed to respond 2–4 Dinitrochlorobenzene, exhibited poor secondary tetanus toxoid. Mantoux responses, however, were diminished only the sicca syndrome. Estimation RNA/DNA ratios peripheral blood lymphocytes showed increased those groups responding poorly DNCB As lymphocyte ratio is correlated mean diameter, this means that elevated an absolute, or relative, increase number large circulating blood. It suggested failure may be due deficiency uncommitted small lymphocytes.
