Influence of thymosin on E-rosette formation of lymphoid cells in leukemic and nonleukemic children

H Winterleitner et al. Blut. .

Abstract

The influence of two thymosin and two spleen control preparations on the E-rosette formation of peripheral blood lymphocytes and leukemic cells from non-leukemic children with depressed T cell values and leukemic children was investigated. Both thymosin preparations but also one of the control preparations induced a significant increase in the mean percentage of E-rosette forming PBL in the non-leukemic children with depressed T cell values. Thymosin and spleen preparations, however, did not convert the non-erythrocyte binding blasts to erythrocyte binding cells in either common or pre-T-ALL.
