Lymphocytes are prominent among the Inflammatory cells infiltrating the asthmatic airways,
and several studies have suggested that cell-mediated immunity may play a role in the
pathogenesis of chronic asthma. We have measured (1) the expression of activation
markers on the CD4+ and CDS+ T-Iymphocyte phenotypic subsets Inthe peripheral blood of
