title: [The significance of beta 2-microglobulin for the diagnosis of preleukemic states in workers of the chemical industry].
abstract: A study is presented of 89 workers contacting with benzene and its derivatives and 98 workers without contacts with chemical substances. Radioimmunological assay of peripheral blood B2-microglobulin was carried out. Persons with a length of work over 10 years contacting with anilin and its derivatives showed a marked increase of B2-microglobulin in the blood serum as well a marked reduction of leucocyte number. It is considered that leucopenia with granulocytopenia and marked increase of B2-microglobulin is regarded as a preleucosis state.
