Suppressor cells in Hodgkin's disease and lung carcinoma

Recent Results Cancer Res. 1980:75:37-40. doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-81491-4_6.

Abstract

Lymphocyte response to PHA was depressed in 9 of 14 cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD) and in 4 of 14 cases of lung carcinoma (LC). This depression was caused in one-third of the HD cases and in one-half of the LC cases by an excess of prostaglandin synthesis.
