Flow cytometric analysis of the phenotypic distribution of splenic lymphocytes in zinc-deficient adult mice.

Abstract excerpt

Many immunodeficiency states create an imbalance in the ratio of T cells to B cells or in the subsets of lymphocytes found within these two major classes. A 30-d period of suboptimal intake of zinc often caused a 50% decrease in the total number of splenic lymphocytes in young adult mice. One- and two-color flow cytometric analysis was made of the residual splenocytes of the zinc-deficient mice to determine...
