Impaired in vitro proliferative response of suppressor lymphocytes in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage from ruptured intracranial aneurysm

Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Proliferative response to mitogens concanavalin A, phytohaemoagglutinin and pokeweed mitogen, and other chosen indicators of the activity of the immune system were assayed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from blood of patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage from ruptured aneurysm. Healthy blood donors served as control group. The SAH group displayed impaired response to concanavalin A, which is a mitogen specific for suppressor cells. It is suggested that the impaired activity of suppressor cells pre-existed in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage, and after intracranial bleeding it might have contributed to the development of late neurological deficits.
