title: [Extension of the rosette test in the estimation of TAA-binding cells in breast cancer and mastopathy patients].
abstract: The antigen specific rosette test was used for the evaluation of a specific sensibilization of a tumour bearer to TAA. The frequency of the rosettes formed by peripheral blood leucocytes of breast carcinoma patients with antigen-coupled particles is significantly higher than that produced by leucocytes of normal donors. Following operation normally the number of TAA specific rosettes decrease, in 4 cases with recidives we found high numbers of TAA binding cells. In another 11/98 patients following ablatio mammae later than half a year we found positive test results and also in 17/60 patients with mastopathy. The clinical relevance of these results must be proofed in further investigations.
