In the culture supernatants of PBMC stimulated with PWM, the concentration of secreted IgG, IgA and IgM was determined by a solid phase immunofluorescence assay. After stimulation with PWM and PHA, the 3H-TdR uptake from PBMC was evaluated. In patients only the serum values of IgG were found significantly decreased. No difference was observed between patients and healthy age and sex matched controls, in percentage and absolute number of T and B-cells, whereas an increased number of T gamma was present in patients. In these patients after stimulation with PWM the production of IgG and IgA, but not IgM, and the 3H-TdR incorporation, were significantly lower than in healthy controls.
