Thymosin‐inducible ‘null’ cells in atopic eczema

Thirty children with atopic eczema were compared with an equal number of age‐matched healthy children. The mean peripheral blood T‐lymphocyte level was lower in the eczema group (mean 1,197/mm2 as against 1,702/mm3; P= 0.003). This difference was abolished in vitro by thymosin, a thymic hormone extract.
