Cell-mediated Immunity versus tumor antigens (cytosols) of the same histotype and site was evaluated by means of the leukocyte adherence Inhibition (LAI) test in 44 colorectal adenocarcinoma and 17 lung squamous-cell carcinoma patients 3–10 years after surgical resection. LAI-positivity was observed in 17/44 (38.6 %) and 13/17 (76.5 %) patients, respectively, together with serum blocking factors in 7/17 (41.2%) compared to 0/13. These results indicate that a high percentage of long survivors retain an immunologic memory of the tumor antigen to which they have been exposed. The prognostic significance of serum blocking factors is less clear.

The T cells which mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) are blocked by a normal humoral response and cannot be made to function by further immunization. They can be rescued to some extent by treatment with immunopotentiating agents such as cyclophosphamide (CY) which suppresses the antibody response selectively, or by BCG which interferes with the action of serum blocking factors. These two agents together can restore cell-mediated immunity completely, but a further antigenic stimulus is needed to reestablish DTH in mice blocked by a long period of continuous exposure to SRBC.
