In vitro restoration by thymosin of T lymphocytes from patients with lung tuberculosis
Abstract
The percentage of E-rosette forming T-lymphocytes is considerably decreased in a number of patients with severe form of lung tuberculosis, particularly in those with tuberculous empyema of the pleura (28.5% to 38%). After in vitro incubation of lymphocytes from those patients with thymosin V fraction T-lymphocytes restored normal.
