Abstract

27 patients with B-CLL were evaluated before treatment. All patients were staged according to the 'Rai' classification and the following cell populations were studied B cells, surface immunoglobulin characteristics, mouse red cell rosettes, T cells (E+) and T cell subsets (TG and TM). Serum immunoglobulins were measured in all patients. The relationship between the clinical stage and the above immunological parameters was studied and the possible role of splenic involvement in the finding of abnormal ratios of T cell subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with B-Cell is discussed.
