[Normal and abnormal cell and antibody mediated immunoreactions. Part I: structure, ontogeny and functions of
The ontogeny of T and B cells can be clearly demonstrated by developing cell surface markers and cell functions. This may be used as diagnostic aid in determining differentiation of lymphoblasts, therapeutic response of immunodeficiency disorders and as one of explanations for immunoincompetence of newborns. Subpopulations of lymphocytes can be quantitatively and qualitatively changed in a variety of disorders. The main markers of lymphocytic subpopulations and their in vitro and possible in vivo functions are described.
