Abstract We studied the relative number of lymphocyte subsets in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with active multiple sclerosis. The cells were double‐labeled with monoclonal antibodies and were studied using a fluorescence‐activated cell analyzer. The number of Leu2+ Leul5+ cells and Leu3+ Leul8+ cells was markedly reduced in the CSF but not in the peripheral blood of the patients. The number of Leu3+ Leu18+ cells was reduced also in the CSF of control patients (patients with other inflammatory or infectious neurological diseases).
