Monitoring of transplant patients' lymphocytes: knowledge of the varying specificities of anti-lymphocyte antibodies allows the interpretation of anomalous results.

Abstract excerpt

In many transplant centers, the T lymphocytes of transplant patients are routinely monitored, both to predict and diagnose the cellular events that result from transplantation and to evaluate the effectiveness of immunosuppressive therapy. During the course of this monitoring, we have observed anomalous results: the number of T cells said to be present varies greatly depending on the surface marker used for the...
