In vitro and in vivo enhancement of mixed lymphocyte culture reactivity by thymosin in patients with primary immunodeficiency disease. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1979, Volume: 332 Topics: Adult; Ataxia Telangiectasia; Candidiasis; Chronic Disease; DiGeorge Syndrome; Eczema; Humans; Immunoglobulins; Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes; Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed; Male; Thymosin; Thymus Gland; Thymus Hormones; Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome	1979
Thymosin-inducible 'null' cells in atopic eczema. The British journal of dermatology, 1979, Volume: 100, Issue:5 Thirty children with atopic eczema were compared with an equal number of age-matched healthy children. The mean peripheral blood T-lymphocyte level was lower in the eczema group (mean 1,197/mm2 as against 1,702/mm3; P = 0 . 003). This difference was abolished in vitro by thymosin, a thymic hormone extract. Positive correlations were found between eczema severity and: eosinophilia; hyperimmunoglobulinaemia E; but not T lymphopaenia. Thymosin-inducible T-cell (Ti) counts correlated with plasma IgE levels, suggesting that these Ti cells may be immature suppressor T cells. If this T-cell deficiency represents inadequate suppression of IgE responses, then a trial of treatment with thymosin appears to be warranted. Topics: Adolescent; Child; Child, Preschool; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Eczema; Eosinophilia; Female; Humans; Immunoglobulin E; Infant; Lymphocytes; Lymphopenia; Male; T-Lymphocytes; Thymosin; Thymus Hormones	1979
