Summary

THE RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: THYMUS WEIGHT GRADUALLY DECREASED BY 3 WEEKS AFTER CRYOSURGERY, WHILE SPLEEN WEIGHT INCREASED BY 1 WEEK, RECOVERING THE PREOPERATIVE LEVEL AT 6 WEEKS. PARACORTICAL HYPERPLASIA OF THE LUMBAR LYMPH NODES MARKEDLY INCREASED IN 1 WEEK AND SINUS HISTIOCYTOSIS INCREASED AFTER 3 WEEKS. PHA-INDUCED BLASTOGENESIS OF THE LUMBAR LYMPH NODES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED 1 WEEK AFTER CRYOSURGERY. PHA-INDUCED BLASTOGENESIS OF PERIPHERAL LYMPHOCYTES SHOWED THE LOWEST VALUE AT3 WEEKS AND THEN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED AT 6 WEEKS. RESISTANCE RATE TO RECHALLENGE SHOWED THE LOWEST VALUE AT 3 WEEKS, REACHING THE HIGHEST LEVEL 10 WEEKS AFTER CRYOSURGERY. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT ANTITUMOUR IMMUNITY WAS AT THE LOWEST LEVEL AT 3 WEEKS AFTER CRYOSURGERY, AND GRADUALLY INCREASED STARTING AT 6 WEEKS.
