title: [Surface phenotype and suppressor function of the blood lymphocytes in multiple myeloma].
abstract: Surface phenotype of peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied in 18 patients with myeloma by combined rosette-forming and immunofluorescent methods. A high content of B lymphocytes with the identical type of immunoglobulin, and a decreased level of T lymphocytes were revealed. The increased activity of spontaneous and Con A-induced suppressor activity and cytochemical changes of some intracellular hydrolytic enzymes were found in lymphocytes of patients with myeloma.
