title: Detection of human lymphocyte subpopulations by using monoclonal antibodies and protein A-coated erythrocytes.
abstract: The results obtained by using the protein A-rosette assay for human peripheral blood lymphocytes treated with a series of monoclonal antibodies were very close to the estimates obtained by indirect fluorescence. The percentages of T3-, T4-, T8- and DR-positive cells (T3 = T lymphocytes, T4 = helper T lymphocytes, T8 = suppressor T lymphocytes, DR = B, L and null cells) in normal and pathological peripheral blood were found to vary within the limits reported by many other authors using different techniques for the identification of cells binding the specific monoclonal antibody.
