The investigation of cellular and humoral immune reactivity in patients with tumours of the bladder.
The authors investigated the cellular immune reactivity by measuring the lymphocyte blast transformation, immune globulins and some glycoproteins in the sera of patients with papilloma and carcinoma of the bladder. They found a change in the cellular immune reactivity, but none in immune globulin concentration. Among the glycoproteins the acute phase reactant proteins changed significantly.
