hi Dalia

We have been aware of these cells for quite some time, and observed them
with many hematologic problems, but have not associated them with any
particular pathologic status. Note also [assuming we are discussing the
same CD3+8+ population ] that these cells have slightly increased levels of
CD3. We noted these cells in some abstract, years ago.
