“…This process has been termed thermoinactivation [13,17,19,20,26,40], since at 37 ~ an el-lipoprotein proinhibitor [13,16,17,29,39] is converted by a specific serum-lipase A to an inhibitor which becomes irreversibly attached to the erythrocyte surface, thus abolishing the effect of agglomerins. This inhibitor complex of lysolecithin character [9,13,19,20,32] has a decisive significance in differentiating inflammatory processes from malignant tumours, the former being associated with a more intensive lipase activity than are the latter.…”
