The inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on the in vitro response to phytohaemagglutinin of the residual circulating T lymphocytes in renal transplant patients during maintenance immunosuppressive therapy with glucocorticosteroids and azathioprine has been investigated. As in normal subjects, the steroid-induced inhibition of transplanted patients' lymphocyte response was inversely correlated with the mitogen concentration used. On the other hand, the response of the various lymphocyte preparations from transplanted patients appeared less inhibited by steroids than the corresponding preparations from normal subjects. The addition to the culture of the adherent cell product interleukin 1 was effective in removing to a similar extent the steroid inhibitory effect on lymphocytes from normal and transplanted subjects. Thus, the lesser inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on transplanted patient lymphocytes could be explained by the higher percentages of monocytes present in all peripheral blood mononuclear cell preparations. These results suggest that during immunosuppressive therapy with glucocorticoids and azathioprine the residual circulating lymphocytes have a responsiveness to in vitro dexamethasone suppression similar to that of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes.
