Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) induced dose-response lymphocyte transformation has been studied in a group of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. There is a marked reduction in responsiveness, particularly with low doses of PHA. These observations, together with the finding of a raised incidence (7%) of high titre antibody in primary biliary cirrhosis patients, are adduced as evidence of impaired cell-mediated immunity in this disease.
在一组原发性胆汁性肝硬化患者中研究了植物血凝素(PHA)诱导的剂量反应性淋巴细胞转化。反应性显著降低,尤其是低剂量PHA时。这些观察结果,连同原发性胆汁性肝硬化患者中高滴度抗体发生率升高(7%)的发现,被引为该疾病中细胞介导免疫受损的证据。
