Immune reactivity in patients with colorectal cancer: assessment of biologic risk by immunoparameters.
The concept whether immune reactivity was intrinsically related to risk of recurrence was examined in 307 patients with rectal colon cancer, including 181 patients with primary resectable cancer, 48 patients with advanced primary operable cancer, and 78 patients with recurrence. Immune reactivity was measured by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) skin tests (219 patients) and by in vitro immunopar...
متن کاملUVB susceptibility as a risk factor to the development of lepromatous leprosy.
BACKGROUNDS Ultraviolet radiation B (UVRB) is the most important environmental factor capable of altering the immune function of human skin. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of the phenotypes of susceptibility or resistance to ultraviolet radiation B (UVRB) and the polar forms of leprosy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated 38 patients with lepromatous leprosy (LL) and 87 patients with t...
متن کاملCorrelation of in vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity with in vitro lymphocyte transformation in sarcoidosis.
O. P. SHARMA The cardinal immunological defect in sarcoidosis is depression of delayed-type hypersensitivity which is readily demonstrated by skin tests using tuberculin, Candida albicans, or the chemical dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). It is also known that in vitro culture of lymphocytes from sarcoidosis patients fail to undergo blastic transformation in response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). We...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo effects of dapsone on neutrophil and lymphocyte functions in normal individuals and patients with lepromatous leprosy.
The effects of dapsone on polymorphonuclear leukocyte functions and lymphocyte mitogen-induced transformation were assessed in vitro and in vivo in normal individuals and in newly diagnosed untreated patients with lepromatous leprosy. The effects of dapsone on the cell-free generation of superoxide by the xanthine: xanthine oxidase system and iodination of bovine serum albumin by horseradish pe...
متن کاملReduced suppressor cell response to Mycobacterium leprae in lepromatous leprosy.
We have previously shown that concanavalin A (ConA) induction of suppressor cell activity is impaired in patients with lepromatous leprosy (LL). In this study, we demonstrated that the proportion of cells bearing the Leu8 antigen (associated with suppressor-inducer cells) is low in LL patients and tends to normalize during the erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) episode. Antigen-induced suppressor ...
