Mixed leukocyte culture reactivity of lymph node cells regional to transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Overview
abstract
Regional lymph node cells from some patients with bladder cancer exhibited a suppressive effect on the ability of autologous and allogeneic blood leukocytes to function as stimulator cells in one-way mixed leukocyte culture. The appearance of the suppressor activity was significantly correlated to advancing stage of disease and to the histology of the regional lymph nodes.
