Carcinoembryonic antigen-induced release of a suppressor factor from normal human lymphocytes in vitro

Although it is generally accepted that tumor-bearing patients may be immunosuppressed, the mechanism for this effect is unclear. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that a tumor-associated macromolecule, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), could itself suppress lymphocyte function, as quantitated by upt...
