The effect of various doses of penetrating radiation on the antigenic and biological properties of brown-pearce carcinoma in experiments in vitro

Eosinophilia Following Radiation Therapy

“…Although immunoglobulin studies in the present investigation on patients manifesting absolute eosinophilia did not differ from observations in other patients receiving radiotherapy [30], new or 'altered' antigens induced by ra diation [31,32] may lead to reactions, which are cell-mediated or involving a specific subclass of immunoglobulins and not necessarily reflected in total immunoglobulin levels. It is hoped that additional clinical and laboratory in vestigations in patients with RRE may provide further clues on the nature of immunologic reactions resulting from irradiation of normal and neoplastic tissue.…”
