Using monoclonal antibodies (OKT3, OKT4, OKT8) peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets were determined in 40 normal primiparous pregnant women and compared with those of 31 nonpregnant controls. In pregnant women plasma concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, human placental lactogen (HPL), beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (.beta.HCG) and .alpha.-fetoprotein were measured by means for radioimmunoassay. Correlations between peripheral lymphocyte subsets and plasma hormone levels were studied. In pregnant women from 10 to 40 wk of amenorrhea a decrease in the percentage of OKT3 and OKT8 cells was noted. An increase in the percentage of OKT4 cells was noted during the course of pregnancy. This increase inversely correlated with plasma .beta.HCG levels and directly correlated with plasma HPL levels.
