ABSTRACT
Lymphocyte subsets and T cell activation markers were measured in ten children with renal transplants for up to 1 year before and during their 1st year of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment. The number of lymphocytes, helper or cytotoxic T cells or natural killer cells, and the T cell expression of CD25, CD26 and HLA-DR antigens were not altered by rhGH. B cell numbers declined both before and during treatment. There was no difference in lymphocyte subset numbers between children with and without rejection episodes.
