[Density of beta-adrenergic lymphocyte receptors in health subjects and patients with bronchial asthma].

In this study were involved 45 subjects: 15 healthy (group I), 15 patients with atopic mild bronchial asthma (group II) and 15 asthmatics with moderate bronchial asthma. Peripheral blood lymphocyte beta-2-adrenergic receptor (BAR) density and affinity were determined. Radiolabelled ligandbinding assays determine receptor density and affinity were performed. Significant differences in lymphocyte BAR density were found when healthy subjects and moderate bronchial asthma patients were compared.
