Abstract
The tube leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assay was performed using 3 M KCl extracts of malignant melanoma materials and leukocytes taken from 24 malignant melanoma patients. Of these patients, 21 participated in sequential studies which employed a minimum of 3 time points. An increasing non-adherence index (NAI) was found in 5 of 6 patients who exhibited a favorable disease course. In 5 of 6 patients with an unfavorable disease course, NAI values decreased. In 8 of 9 patients with stable disease, the NAI also was stable. These results indicate that the trend of sequential LAI studies reflects the clinical course of malignant melanoma patients.
