Changes of CD2 receptor density determined by electron microscopy on blood lymphocytes following radiation treatment for breast cancer.
Changes of relative CD2 receptor on lymphocytes were examined in 11 women following radiation treatment for breast cancer by electron microscopy using antibody-coated gold particles. Proportions of blood lymphocytes with a high density of CD2 receptors were reduced, whereas those with no or a low density of such receptors were increased after radiation treatment.
