Abnormalities of interleukin 2 receptor expression associated with decreased antigen-induced lymphocyte proliferation in patients with AIDS and related disorders.

abstract：:Changes were assessed in lymphocyte sub-populations in various stages of human pregnancy. The percentage and absolute number of E-RFC decreased during pregnancy. There was a concomitant rise in the percentages of EAC-RFC and cells bearing SmIg with little change in their absolute numbers. EAC-RFC continued to rise pos...
