Mechanisms of leucocyte migration inhibition by breast tumour cell fractions

British Journal of Cancer volume 34, pages 14–19 (1976)Cite this article

Abstract

Leucocyte migration inhibition by autologous breast tumour cell fractions was mediated by a soluble factor synthesized and released by mononuclear leucocytes and active against migrating granulocytes. This mechanism is similar to that previously described in respect to cell-mediated sensitivity to microbial antigens. Alternative mechanisms involving directly reactive granulocytes or cytophilic antibodies were rarely operative in the migration tests.
