EFFECT OF SURGERY ON T-LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATION

Authors: GF Adami ( ) , N Scopinaro ( ) , E Cariati ( ) , V Bachi ( )

Abstract

The number of whole T-subpopulation cells and T_M-helper and T_G-suppressor cells are evaluated before major surgery and throughout the postoperative course by morphological and histochemical methods. All cells belonging to the T-subpopula­tion are reduced in number in the first and in the second postoperative day, returning to nearly pre­-surgical levels by the third postoperative day. Unchanged T_M/T_G ratio after operation suggests unaffected immunoregulation.
