Abstract excerpt
The distribution and phenotype of mononuclear cells from endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) specimens in patients with viral myocarditis (VMC, 25 cases) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM, 10 cases) were studied. T-lymphocytes, including T-h/i (T-helper/induced) cells in VMC and T-c/s (T-cytotoxic/suppressor) cells in DCM, were predominated in the infiltrating mononuclear cells within these specimens. The morphological...
