Both acute and chronic cellular inflammatory reactions were suppressed in rats bearing malignant tumors. Inhibition of the acute inflammatory reactions was demonstrated in immune complex-induced vasculitis and in the accumulation of leukocytes in subcutaneously implanted polyvinyl sponges. Suppression of chronic inflammatory reactions was demonstrated in delayed type hypersensitivity skin reactions. In spite of these suppressed reactions, dermal reactivity to vasopermeability mediators was not diminished. Neither serum complement levels nor numbers of circulating leukocytes were depressed in animals with tumors. Suppression of inflammatory reactions was paralleled by a leukotactic defect which involved both neutrophils and monocytes. This defect could be ascribed to an abnormality in the serum that rendered both cell types leukotactically defective.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
