Abstract
Lymphocyte transformation and serum levels of immunoglobulins and complement were
measured in groups of patients with old myocardial infarction, with peripheral vascular
disease and in age- and sex-matched controls. There were no significant differences
between the groups in phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) induced lymphocyte transformation,
in IgA or in serum complement levels. The levels of IgG and IgM were significantly
raised in patients with old proven infarcts while the level of IgM was raised in patients
with peripheral vascular disease.
