Abstract Serum immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP) was determined in patient with true histiocytic lymphoma. The change of serum level of IAP correlated well with the clinical course, i.e. , increased at relapse and decreased during remission. Immunohistochemistry showed IAP was present in the cytoplasms of normal granulocytes and histiocytes but not in neoplastic histiocytes.
