Abstract
The effect of Hodgkin patient cytotoxic sera on the electrophoretic mobility of normal and Hodgkin peripheral blood allo-lymphocytes has been studied. Contact with cytotoxic serum determined a significant decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of lymphocytes, due to the presence of cytotoxic antibody on the lymphocyte surface. The antibody seems to be directed against T-lymphocytes. The results are discussed in the light of the preceding data by the authors on the role of anti-T-autoantibodies in Hodgkin's disease.
