Increase of circulating gamma/delta T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients affected by active inflammatory bowel disease.

abstract：:With the aim of evaluating cell changes possibly induced by labelling lymphocytes with 99m-technetium (99mTc), several rosette tests and stimulation assays with mitogens have been carried out before and after radiolabelling. The results presented here show that (i) as the rosette tests are not modified statistically, ...
