title: Human lymphocyte populations in blood after tetanus vaccination.
abstract: The content of circulating T and B lymphocytes in 9 healthy volunteers was estimated before and after secondary vaccination with tetanus toxoid. E, Fc, and C3 receptors were demonstrated by rosette techniques and surface Ig by fluorescence technique. The absolute number of T and non-T (B) lymphocytes was simultaneously increased during the first 48 h and at 144 h after vaccination. The correlation between paired T and non-T (B) lymphocyte counts was enhanced after vaccination, probably reflecting mechanisms governing the traffic of lymphocytes.
