Abstract
A relative decrease in helper and a parallel increase in suppressor-cytotoxic T lymphocytes was found in the blood of six habitually aborting women, as compared with the T-cell subset distribution in ten normal multiparae and eight multigravid post-partum women. It is suggested that an imbalance between the immunoregulatory T-cell subpopulations may contribute to the rejection of the semiallogenic fetus.
