A complex of methods based on a rosette forming reaction, was used to study the content of different lymphocytic populations in the peripheral blood of persons with nonspecific ulcerative colitis. Imbalance in the system of immunocompetent cells was shown to develop in this disease: a decrease in the amount of suppressors (T gamma and theophylline sensitive lymphocytes) and a increase in the amount of immature postthymic cells: cells forming rosettes with autologous erythrocytes, and theophylline dependent lymphocytes.
