	abstract = {In previous studies it was demonstrated that the in vitro exposure of human lymphocytes to iron, nickel or cobalt salts causes a significant reduction of lymphocytes expressing CD2 and CD3 surface antigens. Since both molecules are involved in T lymphocyte activation, these studies suggest that the above metals might affect T-cell activation and proliferation. Thus a method was developed for the stimulation of lymphocytes in which both CD2 and CD3 molecules were triggered simultaneously. For this purpose an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was chemically bound to human erythrocytes (HE), forming HEαCD3 conjugates, which were used for lymphocyte stimulation. In this work the effects of iron on lymphocyte proliferation was studied, following stimulation.},
