Lymphocyte subpopulations in human cerebrospinal fluid.
Lymphocyte subpopulations in both human cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood were identified and compared by rosette techniques. In patients without neuroaxial disease, the percent distribution of Fc receptor and T-lymphocytes reflected peripheral blood values, although there was a significantly higher percentage of T cells in normal CSF. Alterations in lymphocyte cerebrospinal fluid populations were observed in various systemic and neurologic diseases.
