  • Title: [Lymphopenia and variations in T and B lymphocytes appearing immediately after irradiation (author's transl)].
    Author: Bolla M, Vrousos C, Bensa JC, Lachet B, Kolodié H, Vincent F, Moulin JJ.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1979 Nov; 60(11):695-700. PubMed ID: 316824.
    Abstract:
    Immunity tests were conducted in 21 patients with cancer, before and two months after irradiation. T and B lymphocyte counts were normal before irradiation when compared to a control group. Lymphopenia was present after irradiation affecting mainly the T lymphocytes (P = 0.005), whereas changes in B lymphocytes were not significant. These results suggest that irradiation has an immunosuppressive effect which should be studied in greater detail to establish possible therapeutic applications.
