ABSTRACT:
A method and test kit for detecting and treating inherited substance abuse dependency by counting viable T-cell suppressor cells (CD8) is described. In the preferred form the T-cell suppressor cells are isolated and then counted. The method and test kit are important for distinguishing a genetic deficiency with a tendency towards alcoholism as opposed to a psychological dependency on drugs.
