T cell subsets in idiopathic glomerulonephritis
Determination of T lymphocyte subsets using monoclonal antibodies revealed a deficiency of suppressor cells and an elevated helper:suppressor T cell ratio in 7 patients with untreated idiopathic immune complex glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms of immunoregulatory cell imbalance and their implications specifically in reference to idiopathic glomerulonephritis are discussed.
