[Studies on the E rosette test (author's transl)]. 1980

R Neubert, and H Sauer, and H Ambrosius, and P Leonhardt

The number of T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of normal subjects and patients with bronchial carcinoma was determined by using the E rosette test. In a comparative study we counted the "total" rosette forming cells and the "active" rosette forming cells using a lymphocytes-sheep red cells-ratio (Ly-SRBC-R) of 1:8 and 1:40. The numbers or rosettes in the two test systems are in correlation with the Ly-SRBC-R despite other differences in the techniques. -A significant difference was determined between normal subjects and patients with the "active" rosette test only with a L-SRBC-R of 1:40. By contrast the values with the L-SRBC-R of 1:8 were not very different between the two groups. -Also the number of "total" rosettes was significantly different between blood donors and carcinoma patients, using the L-SRBC-R. 1:40. -These results are not of direct clinical relevance, because the values of normal subjects and carcinoma patients are overlapping.

D012397 Rosette Formation The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells. Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
