Abstract

Changes in lymphocyte subsets in whole blood of normal pregnant women were examined by flow cytometry. From the first trimester and throughout pregnancy, the count of B cell subset remain unchanged. On the contrary, the percentage of "helper" lymphocytes decreased in the first trimester, increase in the third. These changes of lymphocyte subsets may indicate suppression of immunological activity during pregnancy.
