Abstract After a 30-min incubation in the presence of adenosine, the suppressor activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy subjects decreases as well as the count of CD4+ cells, while the count of CD8+ cells increases. The suppressor activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with atopic bronchial asthma and the count of CD8+ cells increase after a 16-h incubation with adenosine, while a 30-min incubation enhances the expression of CD4 antigen.
