title: [B-lymphocytes of the blood in schizophrenia: effect of psychotropic therapy].
abstract: Using the method of immune rosette formation and rosette formation with murine erythrocytes, the authors studied the characteristics of blood B lymphocytes in schizophrenics with the continuously progressive course of the disease and the effects of psychotropic therapy on B lymphocyte production. The count of B lymphocytes (both mature and immature) was increased in the patients versus normal subjects. Psychotropic therapy reduced the number of B cells almost to the normal values.
