title: [Cellular immunity in two familial cases of thyroid carcinoma (author's transl)].
abstract: Cellular immunity in two brothers with thyroid carcinoma in a family presenting pathological thyroid changes is investigated. In these brothers a low PHA lymphocyte blast-transformation and an elevated number of surface membrane Ig bearing lymphocytes were observed. These data are discussed in relation to the question of immunological defects which frequently are present in carcinoma patients.
