## Abstract The peripheral blood monocyte is the reactive cell in the tube LAI assay. The monocyte loses its properties of adherence to glass upon exposure to specific antigen. Two different experiments to determine if lymphocytes, when they reacted with tumour, released mediators that were respons

## Abstract Leukocytes from patients with limited cancer display LAI reactivity whereas leukocytes from patients with metastatic cancer frequently demonstrate no reactivity in the tube LAI assay. The leukocytes (monocytes) of reactive patients react with tumour antigen through specific cytophilic a
## Abstract After binding a sensitizing tumor antigen, human leukocytes undergo a series of changes that lead to a loss of their glassβadherent properties; a phenomenon called leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI)^1^. After surgery or when patients have a large tumor burden, their test results becom
