title: [Complementary rosette study of peripheral blood B-lymphocytes of schizophrenic patients].
abstract: Examinations of the B-cell immunity system in schizophrenic patients showed that the content of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood exceeded normal (the difference being statistically significant). The patients' lymphocyte populations had twice as much (as compared with normal) cells with increased density of immunoglobulin receptors on the superficial membrane. This points to an increase of the functional activity of B-lymphocytes in schizophrenia. The pathogenetic significance of B-cell superficial receptors was the greatest in the acute period of the schizophrenic process.
