The effect of the growth of two syngeneic transplanted sarcomata of widely differing biological properties on the number of monocytes in the blood of rats was measured (1) by binding of a specific antimacrophage serum to leucocytes, and (2) by sedimenting in a density gradient rosettes between mononuclear cells and antibody-coated sheep red cells under conditions in which B-cells are not brought down. For the 4 syngeneic sarcomata studied there was a progressive increase in the number of monocytes with tumour growth and the values returned to normal a few days after their surgical removal. The extent of monocytosis was related to the immunogenicity of the tumour and was most pronounced for the HSBPA sarcoma, which is highly immunogenic, has a low rate of spontaneous metastasis and contains many macrophages, and least for the MC-3 sarcoma which is essentially non-immunogenic, invariably gives rise to distant metastases and contains only about 8% macrophages. The growth of sarcomata had previously been found to reduce the number of monocytes which enter inflammatory lesions, both non-specific and due to a delayed hypersensitivity reaction. This "anti-inflammatory" action of sarcomata which is related to their immunogenicity cannot be ascribed to the preferential uptake of monocytes by the tumours and it is concluded that the monocytes in the blood of tumour-bearers, though increased in number, are modified so that they do not enter sites of inflammation.
