Suppressor Cells in Hodgkin’s Disease and Lung Carcinoma
Chapter
Abstract
Lymphocyte response to PHA was depressed in 9 of 14 cases of Hodgkin’s disease (HD) and in 4 of 14 cases of lung carcinoma (LC). This depression was caused in one-third of the HD cases and in one-half of the LC cases by an excess of prostaglandin synthesis.
