Abstrakt: Thymidine uptake in PHA-stimulated culture of cord blood cells from smoking mothers is greater than that from non-smoking mothers. There was no such difference when separated lymphocytes were studied; this suggests that smoking suppresses a suppressor cell. No difference was detected in haemoglobin, immunoglobulins, transferring, cell counts, E-rosette counts and leucocyte mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
