Abstract:
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is characterized by a defect expression of phosphatidylinositolglycan-(PIG-)linked surface molecules. This deficiency has been demonstrated for cells of myeloid origin so far, but not for lymphocytes. In these studies we examined the defect on lymphocyte subpopulations.
