The lymphocyte counts, subsets and response to PHA in the peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer (stage I-III) and with a benign mammary disease have been evaluated. In the breast cancer cases, the lymphocyte counts and stimulation index of PHA increased gradually as the stages advanced but there was no statistical significance. The ratio and number of OKT 4 positive lymphocytes were significantly lower in patients with breast cancer (stage I) between 40 and 59 years old than in patients with benign mammary diseases between the same ages. This impairment of OKT 4 in breast cancer (stage I) cases was considered as either a cause of the carcinoma or as a reflection of the environment of steroid hormones.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.
