Abstract excerpt
Scleroderma (progressive systemic sclerosis [PSS]) is known to be associated with abnormal T cell immunoregulation. In the present study, we evaluated lymphocyte phenotypes in patients with PSS and normal control subjects by flow cytometry and monoclonal antibodies for total T (CD3), T suppressor (CD8), T helper (CD4), T helper-inducer (CDw29), T suppressor-inducer (CD45R), human leukocyte antigen, DR+B (CD19),...
