Since ATG is designed to target the T-lymphocytes, wouldn't you want them to be low following treatment? I realize there are other lymphocytes besides the T cells, but I'm not sure what the percentage is. Anyone know?

At any rate, our doctors have always focused on the neutrophils and how they're doing. I've never heard any concern expressed about the lymphocytes as long as the ANC remains in an acceptable range.
