IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECT OF THE TREATMENT OF GRAVES’DISEASE ON ANTIGEN‐SPECIFIC MONOCYTE PROCOAGULANT ACTIVITY PRODUCTION
Abstract
The monocyte procoagulant activity (PCA) production assay has been shown to be a good parameter of cell-mediated immunity. We have studied antigen-specific PCA production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with Graves' disease to determine the effect of the treatment on the cell-mediated immune response. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with untreated or relapsed Graves' disease produced significantly greater …
