Using the skin window technique of Rebuck and Crowley (2), they showed lack of monocyte response. The authors postulate that factors other than monocytopenia could explain the lack of monocyte response and suggest an intrinsic monocyte defect or a lack of chemotactic factors.We wish to report briefly on a study that may explain some of their findings. Sera from five patients with leukemic reticuloendotheliosis were examined for the presence of chemotactic factor inactivator(s). A suspension of bacterial chemotactic factor...References1.
