Suppressor T‐lymphocyte activity in wheezy children with and without treatment by hyposensitization

摘要: Summary The suppressor cell activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes was investigated in wheezy children by determining the ability concanavalin A induced cells to inhibit a mitogen provoked proliferative response. The compared with that eighteen healthy controls. Often infants aged from 5 months 4½ years, recurrent bronchitis, three had much reduced (2 s.d. or more below controls). Of twelve asthmatic 12 seven activity. remaining five normal all received hyposensitization therapy. We speculate immune therapy might act stimulating lymphocyte
