Mononuclear cell phenotypes in patients with psoriasis.
Mononuclear blood cells from 19 patients with psoriasis were stained with a panel of monoclonal antibodies which detect total T lymphocytes, their helper/inducer and suppressor/cytotoxic subsets and Ia-positive lymphocytes and monocytes. Fluorescence-positive cells were enumerated by cell flow cytometry. In these patients, percentages of all mononuclear cell studies were within reference range with few, sporadic exceptions. Statistical analysis of data showed no significant differences between patient values and reference values from a panel of 100 normal subjects.
