Abstract

AbstractThe Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome is a sex‐linked recessive disorder characterized by having defective T‐cell function and poor antibody response.We have investigated the percentage of lymphocytes with receptor for Peanut Agglutinin in four children of Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome. We discovered an increase in percentage of the lymphocytes with receptors for Peanut Agglutinin in all Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome except one. Our findings suggested that the increase in percentage of Peanut Agglutinin positive cells in Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome may reflect degree of immune deficient state, and one of primary or secondary abnormalities of this immunological disorder.
