Human lung cancer—a comparative study of the levels of circulating immune complexes in pulmonary blood draining the tumor area and peripheral venous blood

Abstract: Our objective was to investigate whether low levels of circulating immune complexes (cICs) in peripheral venous blood of cancer patients could be due to removal of cIC released at the tumor site during passage to the peripheral veins. In 54 patients with primary lung cancer, we therefore compared the cIC levels as detected by 3 different assays in paired samples from the pulmonary vein draining the tumor area and from a peripheral vein. Only 6 of the 54 patients had significantly increased pulmonary vein cIC l… Show more
