Notizen:
peripheral blood cells from forty patients with atopic dermatitis and elevated serum IgE levels were studied by indirect immunofluorescence using monoclonal antibodies OKT3, OKT4, OKT8 to, respectively, human T cells, helper-inducer and suppressor-cytotoxic T cell subsets.Decreased T cells with the suppressor-cytotoxic phenotype, with an abnormal balance between helper and suppressor cell subsets, and decreased peripheral blood T cells counts were found as compared to controls. Results were similar in the three age-matches group (4 months–2 years, 2–15 years, 15–50 years) studied.No correlation could be established between serum IgE levels and the elevated helper/suppressor cell ratios.
