Disordered cell-receptor metabolism (R-proteins) and the immunity indices in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin and Kaposi's sarcoma

Elevated blood serum concentrations of R protein were revealed in the patients with malignant lymphomas of the skin and with Kaposi's sarcoma. In both conditions the level of R protein was elevated as against the norm and related to some cellular and humoral immunity parameters. Measurement of R protein concentrations and of the levels of some cellular and humoral immunity parameters in malignant lymphomas of the skin and Kaposi's sarcoma evidence a prognostic value of R proteins.
