Zusammenfassung
Es werden die Ergebnisse der autoradiographischen Bestimmung DNA-synthetisierender Lymphozyten (3H-Thymidin) bei 10 Patienten mit bakteriellen Infekten mit den Ergebnissen bei 10 gesunden Personen verglichen und den Resultaten bei 23 CLL-Patienten in verschiedenen Krankheitsstadien gegenübergestellt. Bei Patienten mit Infektionen lagen die Mittelwerte der T-Zellen niedriger, die der T-Zellen und Nicht-T-Zellen in der S-Phase höher als bei Normalen. Gegenüber Infektpatienten zeigen die CLL-Patienten früher Krankheitsstadien niedrigere S-Phase-T-Zellwerte und höhere S-Phase-Nicht-T-Zellwerte; im fortgeschrittenen Stadium sind alle DNA-synthetisierenden Lymphozyten vermehrt.
Summary
The results of autoradiographic determination of DNA-synthesizing lymphocytes (3H-thymidine) in 10 patients with bacterial infections were compared with results in 10 normal patients and contrasted with 23 CLL patients in different stages [12]. In patients with infectious diseases the absolute number of T cells was lower and the mean values of S-phase T cells and S-phase non-T cells was higher than in normal persons. In contrast to the patients with infections, CLL patients in stage 0–III have lower S-phase T cell values and higher S-phase non-T cell values. In stage IV, on the other hand, all DNA-synthesizing lymphocytes are increased.
