Immunological rebound following cessation of chemotherapy in 15 acute lymphoid leukemia patients in complete remission.
The number of blood and bone marrow lymphocytes, the E-rosette forming cells, the Ig-bearing lymphocytes, the serum immunoglobulin levels were evaluated after discontinuation of 36 months of chemotherapy in 15 acute lymphocytic leukemia patients in complete remission. The study provides further information on the immunological rebound during the "off-therapy" period.
