Interleukin 2 receptor positive T lymphocytes in renal allograft recipients: association with CMV infection.
The number of interleukin 2 receptor positive T cells freshly isolated from peripheral blood as well as stimulated in culture with PHA was determined in renal allograft recipients with stable graft function, rejection and CMV infection. The most typical phenotype was observed during CMV infection. Patients with CMV had very low levels of circulating positive cells which responded normally to mitogen stimulation in vitro.
