Cell-Mediated and Humoral Immune Response to Acute Leukemia Cells and Soluble Leukemia Antigen-Relationship to Immunocompetence and Prognosis

  • Conference paper
Investigation and Stimulation of Immunity in Cancer Patients

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 47))

Abstract

During the past several years there has been increasing evidence that tumor-associated antigens are present in a variety of human neoplasms [25]. In studying the immunological response to human leukemia, Yosjid found that the sera of 71% of patients with acute leukemia gave a positive immune adherence reaction with autologous leukemia cells [46]. In contrast, Dore et al. found by similar methods that only 22% of 140 patients with acute leukemia had antibody to autologous leukemia cells [7]. Cell-mediated immunity was studied by Oren and Herberman who reported that the majority patients with acute leukemia had positive delayed hypersensitivity skin tests to membrane preparation of their own leukemia cells [34]. Cellular reactivity to acute leukemia cells in vitro has also been demonstrated by the mixed leukocyte culture technique (MLC) and lymphocyte cytotoxicity [9, 14, 28, 36, 44].
