title: Twenty-four hour leukocyte adherence inhibition test in thyroid cancer patients.
abstract: The effect of TG cell depletion taking place during 24 hour incubation on the leukocyte adherence inhibition phenomenon was investigated in patients suffering from cancer of the thyroid and healthy volunteers. The depletion coincided with the increase of the adherence inhibition if PPD was used as antigen in both groups, but the reaction to the tumour associated antigen could not be brought into relation with the depletion of TG cells.
