Human T lymphocytes carry a membrane receptor for sheep erythrocytes (E) related to the CD2 molecule. The E-receptor is found in a soluble form (Rs) in serum and can be quantitated by "rocket electrophoresis" using an anti-Rs serum obtained by immunizing sheep with autologous erythrocytes coated wit

✦ Synopsis
The lymphocytes from the peripheral blood of 30 untreated patients with oral cancer and 15 apparently healthy normal controls were studied for quantitation of T-cell subsets. When compared to age-matched controls, the patients as a group showed a significant increase in the proportion and number of TG cells
(IgC Fc receptor-bearing T-cells) and a significant reduction in the TM cells (IgM Fc-bearing T-cells).
The levels of total lymphocytes, T-cells, and B-cells remained in the control range. The discrepancy in the TG subset was evident in the early stages of the disease, while in T M cells, it was evident only in the advanced stages.
