Abstract

Lymphocyte-transformation by phytohaemagglutinine (PHA) was examined in 21 patients with generalized psoriasis during photochemotherapy (PUVA). Lymphocyte-transformation-tests (LTT) were performed before and after 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) medication, before and after the initial irradiation and before and after the first maintenance irradiation four to six weeks later. Spontaneous and PHA-induced lymphocyte-transformation was not altered by 8-MOP alone or in combination with UVA irradiation.
