Abstract:
The report is concerned with the capability of the peripheral blood lymphocytes in schizophrenic patients (28 cases) and normals (25 individuals) to form spontaneous rosettes with the erythrocytes of sheep. The amount of rosettforming cells in schizophrenic patients is significantly lower. Besides, part of the lymphocytes create less complete rosettforms as compared to the lymphocytes of normals. The achieved results may point to insufficiency of the immunological competency in the system of thymusdependent cells in schizophrenic patients.
