Leukocyte subsets in treatment-resistant major depression.

Abstract

1 min read

Patients with treatment-resistant major depression had a significantly higher percentage of helper CD4+ T cells and immature double positive CD4+CD8+ T cells in their blood, and higher CD4+/CD8+ ratio than healthy controls. These results suggest activation of T helper immuno-response and disturbance in thymus function in these patients.
