title: Demonstration of the microtest version of the leukocyte adherence inhibition assay.
abstract: This paper gives a detailed description of the microtest leukocyte adherence inhibition technique, as well as the results obtained with blood specimens coded by impartial observers. Three coded blood specimens from patients with colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma were tested against crude membrane preparations of pancreatic and colon adenocarcinoma tumors. No tissue type-specific reactivity was observed. The inability to demonstrate specific reactivity was due to extensive variability observed within each test. The extensive variability resulted from time constraints of the workshop that necessitated deviations from the normal procedure.
