PG - 17-9 AB - Chemiluminescent responses of peripheral blood lymphocytes were measured in patients with carcinomas and healthy donors. The intensity of lymphocyte chemiluminescence (Ly-CL) in 54 preoperative patients was significantly lower than that in 97 healthy donors (P less than 0.05). Compared to that before treatment, the Ly-CL intensity in 14 patients after radiotherapy was decreased (P less than 0.05). However, Ly-CL intensity in 12 patients after 6-8 days of thymosin therapy was significantly increased (P less than 0.05), and exceeded that of healthy donors (P less than 0.01). These data suggest that Ly-CL measurements may become a new method for monitoring lymphocyte activity or function, and evaluating therapeutic effectiveness in cancer patients.
