[Studies on tumor-specific immune response evaluated by leucocyte migration inhibition test under agarose-plate in gynecological malignancy (author's transl)]. 1981

S Nakamura

For the purpose of analysis of cancer specific immune reactions in gynecological malignancies, Leucocyte Migration Inhibition Test (LMIT: agarose-plate method) has been examined with tumor extract. Tumor extracts as antigens were prepared from 27 cases of cervical cancer, 14 of ovarian cancer, 4 of endometrial cancer, 4 of choriocarcinoma, 3 of vulval cancer and 3 of uterine sarcoma as well as control tissue extracts by hypertonic potassium chloride method (3 M-KCl method). The same antigens were also used for skin reaction test and leucocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assay. 1. LMIT The positive reaction with autochthonous tumor extracts were 6/27 (22.2%) cases in cervical cancer, 4/14 (28.6%) in ovarian cancer, 1/4 in endometrial cancer, 1/4 in choriocarcinoma, 0/3 in vulval cancer, 1/3 in uterine sarcoma. But their reactions with control tissue extracts were all negative. Only a case of ovarian cancer and another of endometrial cancer with cancer extracts of the same types showed positive reaction. 2. Correlations of among LMIT, LAI and skin reaction--Positive reactions of LAIs and skin reactions which were simultaneously examined using the autochthonous tumor extracts were 0-60% in gynecological malignancies. The results yielded the agreement rate with LAI of 77.8%, and that with skin reaction of 55.6%. 3. The antigeneic localization of tumor extract--We gained 3 fractions from the cervical cancer extract, which was LMIT-positive, by Sephadex G-200 gel column chromatography. The antigenicity of the extract was found to be in the high molecular weight fraction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007957 Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test Test for cell-mediated antitumor immunity and related serum blocking factors based on the finding that leukocytes from cancer patients, but not from controls, when mixed in vitro with antigenic extracts of tumors of the same histological type, undergo a diminution in their normal adherence to glass surfaces. Sera from tumor-bearing patients block the LAI reaction of their own leukocytes or those of other patients with the same type of tumor. LAI Test,LAI Tests,Test, LAI,Tests, LAI
D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

D002464 Cell Migration Inhibition Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.
