Abstract:
In 25 patients suffering from vitiligo, we determined the T-cell profile (OKT3, 4 and 8; anti-Leu7) as well as the peripheral monocytes (OKM5) by means of monoclonal antibodies. Comparing the patients with a control group (n = 8), we found no differences regarding the T-cell count, whereas the expression of OKM5 antigens on peripheral monocytes was significantly elevated in patients with vitiligo.
