Suppressor cells in immunodepressed bladder and prostate cancer patients
HW Herr - The Journal of Urology, 1980 - Elsevier
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 23 patients with bladder and prostate cancer were tested
for their ability to respond in vitro to phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin A and allogeneic
cells. The lymphocyte response was depressed in 15 patients (65 per cent), 13 with
advanced disease, compared to peripheral blood lymphocytes from age-matched
hospitalized control subjects tested on the same day. Furthermore, the hyporesponsive
lymphocytes from 11 of the 15 cancer patients (73 per cent) inhibited the …
