Oestrogen and Human T Lymphocytes: Presence of Specific Receptors in the T‐Suppressor/Cytotoxic Subset
Abstract
Human spleen cells were investigated for specific oestrogen binding using oestradiol‐17β. High affinity, low capacity binding was observed (Kd=2.5±10−10m) and the characteristics of the oestrogen receptor identified were typical of this type of species. T lymphocyte subpopulations were prepared by negative selection by means of the monoclonal antibodies Leu 2a and 3a. Oestrogen receptors were only found in T cells of the suppressor/cytotoxic (CD8‐positive) subset while helper/inducer lymphocytes (CD4‐positive) showed no significant steroid binding by cytosol and nuclear assays. These results are supported by data from experiments into the effects of oestradiol‐17β on immunoglobulin secretion, where it was apparent that only the suppressor/cytotoxic T‐cell subpopulation was responsive to the presence of the steroid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
