Abstract
Suppressor cell activity was demonstrated in the peripheral blood of patients with leprosy. Cells bearing the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype were enumerated in peripheral blood and tissues; microanatomical differences in tissue distribution were observed. [The relevance of the results discussed in relation to lepromin unresponsivenss and erythema nodosum leprosum and hypergammaglobulinemia pathogenesis.].This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
