    Thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and cellular immune function have been studied in ten patients with myasthenia gravis and in fifteen different myasthenic patients more than 10 years after thymectomy. The results were compared with those of a normal control population. The non-thymectomized myasthenic patients had normal T lymphocyte concentrations measured by rosetting with native sheep red cells. These patients also showed normal sensitization and recall of delayed hypersensitivity, phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) induced lymphocyte transformation and antibody-assisted (K cell) cytotoxicity; however, PHA-induced cytotoxicity was markedly reduced (P less than 0.001). The thymectomized group exhibited a lower mean percentage and absolute number of E-rosette-forming cells, which returned toward normal after in vitro treatment with thymosin. PHA-induced lymphocyte cytotoxicity, however, was normal in the patients who had undergone thymectomy, as were lymphocyte transformation, antibody-assisted cytotoxicity and sensitization to dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB); there was a decrease in recall of established delayed hypersensitivity. Adult thymectomy in man, therefore, produces a partial and dissociated decrease in T cell responses and it is unlikely that the beneficial effect of this operation in myasthenia gravis is related to immunosuppression.
