ABSTRACT
Study was conducted in 24 cases of various types of leprosy and 10 healthy controls to find out the effect of various sera on the T cell count of peripheral blood lymphocytes by sheep erythrocyte rosetting method. The percentage of T lymphocytes in lepromatous and tuberculoid cases were significantly lower compared to that in normal healthy controls. All sera except FCS had a stimulatory effect on the number of T cells. The cells incubated for 24 hours in FCS did not show any stimulatory effect on the number of T cells, however, these FCS incubated cells showed a significant elevation in the number of T cells when further incubated in sera either from leprosy cases or from healthy subjects.
