## Abstract Alveolar macrophage function was studied immunocytochemically using three monoclonal antibodies—macrophage CD 68 KP 1 (M), protein CD 11C (P), and anti‐elastin (EL)—and three polyclonal antibodies—lysozyme (LZ), alpha‐1‐antitrypsin (AAT), and alpha‐1‐antichymotrypsin (AACT). the materia

## Abstract Mononuclear phagocytes exhibit complex interactions with cancer cells and might contribute to fibrin formation associated with malignancy through the production of procoagulant activity (PCA). We have studied the PCA of peritoneal macrophages in 8 patients with advanced (stages III or I
Cytotoxic activities of regional lymph node lymphocytes (RLNL) and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of 49 primary lung cancer patients who were subjected to surgical resection were examined by 4 h 5'Cr release assay. PBL showed significantly lower cytotoxicity against autologous tumor cells than a
Superoxide anion (O,-) production by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and monocytes (MN) was measured in the peripheral blood of 70 patients with lung cancer. The 0,-production by these cells was decreased in many, but not all, patients. The incidence of patients with lower 0,-production increased
