Comparison of specific radioimmunoassays for cyclosporine.

abstract：:We have analyzed PBL from 7 children exposed to CsA in utero and 4 children exposed to AZA in utero. Expression of CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD20 were normal for both groups of children; however, significant differences were detected in the expression of CD45RA, CD45R0, and CD29. While CsA-exposed children had higher density...
