Abstract
Lymphocytes from diseaseβfree women and women with primary breast carcinoma were comparable visβaβvis their capacity to inactivate breast tumor cells in vitro. Sera from comparable numbers of women in each of these two groups either blocked, potentiated or left unaffected the antiβtumorβcell cytotoxicity of their lymphocytes. As such, the results cast doubt on the validity of the hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between the presence of humoral blocking factors and in vivo tumor progression.
