Abstract excerpt
Cryostat sections of endomyocardial biopsies from 53 patients (mean age 41 +/- 5 years, 38 male and 15 female) clinically indicated to suffer from myocarditis were stained using monoclonal antibodies against subpopulations of T-lymphocytes and macrophages and with polyclonal rabbit-anti-human ser...
