Cytoplasmic Immunofluorescence of Blood Cells from Myeloma, Hodgkin's Disease and Lymphosarcoma Cases

British Journal of Cancer volume 26, pages 10–14 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

The immunofluorescent reaction of peripheral blood cells from 10 multiple myeloma, 10 Hodgkin's and 11 lymphosarcoma cases with antiviral (Rauscher) murine leukaemia (AMR) and antihuman stem cell leukaemia plasma (AHS) antisera was studied. Cells from 25 of these patients were reactive at least once with AMR and AHS or AHS alone. Absorption studies suggested that this cytoplasmic immunofluorescent reaction involved cellular isoantigens. Serial studies on multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's and lymphosarcoma cases with significant fluorescence, showed that the fluorescent cell count variation was correlated with the presence of active disease.
