[Autologous mixed lymphoma reaction in patients with malignant lymphoma].
Human T cells can be induced to proliferate in vitro when they are cocultured with autologous Non-T cells. This phenomenon has been termed the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction, AMLR. In this study, AMLR was assessed in 14 untreated patients with lymphoma and 13 age-and-sex-matched healthy controls. This difference was significant (P less than 0.001), suggesting that patients with lymphoma may have impaired AMLR.
