title: [Evaluation of the cell-mediated immune response after administration of Salmonella antigens in patients with multiple myeloma].
abstract: Myeloma patients show an impairment of several immunological functions leading to infectious diseases. In this study we evaluated cell-mediated responsiveness in a group of these patients. Six myeloma patients received full doses of I.S.M. Enterovaccino. LIF production by peripheral blood lymphocytes against Salmonella antigens was evaluated after 14 days. All patients studied showed no LIF production.
