This article presents information on research papers related to immunology. In the paper "Modulatory Effects of Oestrogen on Immunological Responsiveness. Suppression of Tumour-Associated Immunity in Patients With Prostatic Cancer," the authors wish to point out that retrospective evaluation of the patients in this study has disclosed an effect of hormonal therapy, i.e. orchiectomy and or oestrogen on tumour-associated immunity independent of the effect of in vitro preincubation of patients' leucocytes with DES-P. While in "Migration of Sensitized Mouse Spleen Cells by Cell-Associated Transplantation Antigens: Effect of Method of Antigen Presentation," the authors wish to point out that they have been unable to repeat the MIF assay technique.
