An assessment of the lymphocyte sub-populations and cell mediated cytotoxicity was made in 12 adults with acute non-lymphoid leukemia after stopping chemotherapy. No significant differences were found between ANLL and controls, for absolute lymphocyte count, %SIg/+ cells, Fc gamma + cells and ERFC. The OKT4+/OKT8+ was reduced in ANLL. Leu-7+ cells were significantly higher in ANLL. Moreover it appears that in ANLL lymphocyte function is restored early after stopping chemotherapy.
