Abstract:
CD4+ T cells of patients with B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were analysed for expression of CD45RA and CD29. It was found that CD45RA expression was significantly lower, and CD29 expression significantly higher, in lymphoma patients compared to normal controls. Moreover absolute numbers of CD4+ T cells were significantly lower in NHL patients, due to selective depletion of CD4+ CD45RA+ cells.
