Abstract

Various immunological parameters were evaluated in untreated Hodgkin’s patients before and after sensitization with dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The ratio (r) of these parameters after/before DNCB sensitization for patients and second/first samples in the controls were calculated. There were significantly more patients in the r >1.1 group for PH A and Con A responses and for peripheral blood T cell percentages. These data suggest that DNCB sensitization may have a nonspecific immunopotentiation effect.
