A longitudinal study on human T lymphoid surface antigens was performed on blood samples from 6 infants during their first month of life. Although the results indicate a sudden increase in the percentage of OKT3+ and E-RF+ cell types a few hours after birth and a less rapid decrease of OKT6+ and OKT9+ circulating cells, high levels of OKT10+ cells persisted. This finding suggests that infant blood contains immature phenotypic T lymphocytes after birth.

Abstract
A longitudinal study on human T lymphoid surface antigens was performed on blood samples from 6 infants during their first month of life. Although the results indicate a sudden increase in the percentage of OKT3+ and E-RF+ cell types a few hours after birth and a less rapid decrease of OKT6+ and OKT9+ circulating cells, high levels of OKT10+ cells persisted. This finding suggests that infant blood contains immature phenotypic T lymphocytes after birth.File in questo prodotto:
