Abstract:Automatic cell electrophoresis has been used to investigate electrokinetic properties and the levels of T and B lymphocytes in peripheral blood of 124 pregnant women at different stages of gestation, and in 44 healthy controls. The electrophoretic mobilities (EPM) of T and B lymphocytes in maternal peripheral blood vary only slightly throughout pregnancy. In the pregnant subjects, there is a small but significant reduction in the percentage of circulating T lymphocytes. It is concluded that an increased electr… Show more
