title: [Dynamics of a series of parameters of cellular and humoral immunity in patients with diabetes mellitus type I].
abstract: Fifty-two patients with type I diabetes mellitus were examined. The patients were divided into 4 groups with various duration of the disease: group 1 included patients with the newly diagnosed disease, group 2 those with disease standing of 1 to 5 years, group 3 were patients suffering from diabetes for 6 to 10 years, and group 4 were diabetics for 10 years and more. The parameters examined were antibodies to surface antigens of islet cells, absolute and relative counts of T and B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, counts of T- helpers and T-suppressors and cytotoxic cells and their ratios, counts of natural killers, DR (+) and JgG (+) cells, and basal C-peptide level. The results showed a correlation between autoantibodies to surface antigens of islet cells and the count of B lymphocytes, an inversion of T lymphocyte subpopulations, with the helper/suppressor index increased at the initial stages of the disease and decreasing with the disease progress.
