Effect of tetracycline on lymphocyte antigen expression.
Nowadays the existence of bearing both T and B marker lymphocytes has generally been accepted, but their role and nature is still unknown. The effect of tetracycline on lymphocytes was examined in 26 patients with different, mainly respiratory infections. Examinations were carried out on lymphocyte populations with T and B cell count using E rosette and surface immunoglobulin as a marker. It has been shown that on the lymphocytes of patients receiving tetracycline, regularly high number of D cells are found.
