    Abstract:
    The proportions of T and B lymphocytes were determined in lymph nodes removed from 30 patients with Hodgkin's disease and in 18 control lymph nodes. In all lymph nodes obtained from patients with Hodgkin's disease histological examination demonstrated presence of typical granulation tissue of type Ns, Mc, Ld (changes of Lp type were not found). In the control lymph nodes no neoplastic changes or inflammatory reactions were observed. For identification of T cells the rosette test E was used and for identification of B cells --- the EAC rosette test and tests for presence of Ig on their surface by the immunofluorescent method (L Ig+). It was found that the proportions of T and B cells in the lymph nodes obtained from patients with Hodgkin's disease were not different from those in control lymph nodes. The percent values of T and B cells were similar in all three histological types of changes in Hodgkin's disease. Early radiotherapy was not connected with a change in T and B cell proportions in the irradiated lymph nodes.
