Abstract
The transformation of lymphocytes in response to the mitogen phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was determined in 30 women taking oral contraceptives (O.C.V.) and in 10 women of an age-matched control group. The group taking oral contraceptives demonstrated significant depression of their response to PHA as compared to the control group.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
