[Analysis of different lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with nonspecific ulcerative colitis]
Abstract:
A complex of methods based on a rosette forming reaction, was used to study the content of different lymphocytic populations in the peripheral blood of persons with nonspecific ulcerative colitis. Imbalance in the system of immunocompetent cells was shown to develop in this disease: a decrease in the amount of suppressors (T gamma and theophylline sensitive lymphocytes) and a increase in the amount of immature postthymic cells: cells forming rosettes with autologous erythrocytes, and theophylline dependent lymphocytes.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
