“…We showed that only 9/89 cancer patients (10%) had a level of 4°C E-RFC below the lower normal limit (53%) defined as the mean value 2 s.d. The high level of tofal E-RFC in cancer patients in our studies may be due to the overnight incubation as demonstrated by Whitehead et al (1978); however, with our ratio of-SRBC to lymphocytes (40:1), there is no effect of incubation time at 4°C on rosette formation, according to Chisholm et at. (1976).…”

“…However, there are a number of conflicting reports on the proportion of E-RFC in cancer patients. Some authors (Stjernsward et al, 1972;Nemoto et al, 1974) have reported a normal proportion of T cells in breast-cancer patients, while others described depressed E-RFC in similar patients (Keller et al, 1976;Whitehead et al, 1976;Moroz et al, 1977;Whitehead et al, 1978) and in other malignant diseases (Catalona et al, 1974;Gross et al, 1975).…”

“…Roberts und Forrest [7] haben ebenfalls eine Verminde rung der Hautreaktionen bei Karzinomen beschrieben, konn ten aber keine Korrelation zur PHA-Stimulation feststellen. Stein et al [8] und Whitehead et al [12] haben weder im Hautnoch im Lymphozytentransformationstest eine Verminderung der Immunantwort während der Frühphase eines Karzinoms (ohne Fernmetastasen) nachgewiesen. Papatestas und Kark [5] und Riesco [6] Bei allen Patientinnen wurde die Leukozytenzahl bestimmt und im Differentialblutbild der Anteil der Lymphozyten ermittelt.…”

“…Cellular immune competence is depressed with advanced disease (Whitehead et al, 1976), but there is no clear evidence that immune status bears any relation to clinical progress in the individual case. Measurement of immune status should be regarded as investigational at present.…”
