Investigation of NK Cell Population in Peripheral Blood and Tumor Lesions of Patients with Breast Cancer

Sousan Farazmand; Dawar Amani; Zohair-Mohammad Hassan

Volume 2, Issue 3 , September 2005, Pages 152-157

Abstract
  Background: Alteration in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) is usually investigated to provide an evidence of the host immune responses to tumor antigens. The tumor infiltrating NK cells interact most closely with the tumor cells and more accurately reflect tumor host interactions. Objective: To analyze ...  Read More
