The nonspecific cellular immune response, as measured by phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced blastoid transformation of peripheral lymphocytes in autologous serum, was evaluated in 119 patients with bladder carcinoma and in 21 control subjects. Blastoid transformation was determined by quantifying 3H-thymidine incorporation (counts per minute). The rate of blastogenesis of lymphocytes was shown as the stimulation index which was calculated by dividing the number of counts per minute with PHA by that without PHA. The stimulation index of the control subjects was 29.9 +/- 6.6 (+/- SD); that of the experimental group was 13.3 +/- 7 (significantly lower reactivity). There was a converse correlation between the stimulation index and the grade and stage of tumor. In some cases the change in cellular immunity was compared before and after surgery.

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.

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.
