To evaluate the modulatory effects of trace metals on lymphocyte growth and maturation, thymidine uptake (TU), protein, ATP, Fe, Cu, Zn, ferritin, CD3, CD4, CD8 antigens, surface transferrin receptors (TFR) and interleukin 2 receptors (IL2R) were assessed in normal and T cell leukemia human lymphocy...
