Tγ cell percentages in peripheral blood of patients with sarcoidosis and other pulmonary diseases were compared. In active stage sarcoidosis, an increase in Tγ cell percentage was detected as compared to inactive stage sarcoidosis. However, this increase in Tγ cells was detected in other diseases, such as pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer. A marker study using monoclonal antibodies was performed, but no relationship was determined between Tγ cells and the OKT antibodies.
