[Blastogenic response in vitro of lymphocyte acne vulgaris]

32 patients with different degrees of acne and 10 healthy controls were studied. On every one of them the test for lymphocytic transformation was performed looking for the range of blastogenic response, using PHA and CA. The positive findings with CA related to those obtained in normal subject would support the hypotesis that the cellular immunity as a response to CA antigens would be different in each patient according to the host local conditions.
