Although the diminished in vivo and in vitro responses of the neoplastic lymphocyte to immunogenic and metabolic stimulants are acknowledged, the limits of this hyporeactivity and the extent of lymphocytic immunologic recall remain undefined. There is no established experimental evidence to support the concept that the leukemic lymphocyte's failure to synthesize in vivo antibody to one...References1.
