Abstract excerpt
We have used the HPRT mutant clonal assay to determine the frequency of mutant T lymphocytes (FMC), as a measure of recent T cell stimulation, in the blood of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). We found that, compared to healt...
