Natural killer (NK) cells represent a subset of lymphocytes (up to 15%), distinguishable from
T and B lymphocytes by their morphology, phenotype, and functional capability to …

Current evidence indicates that natural killer (NK) cells, which are large granular
lymphocytes that mediate non‐major histocompatibility complex (MHC)‐restricted …

We examined the clinicopathologic features of 11 surgically resected hepatocellular
carcinomas (HCCs) less than 3 cm in diameter with marked inflammatory cell infiltration …

BACKGROUND Natural cytotoxicity mediated by natural killer (NK) cells is believed to play
an important role in host anticancer defense mechanisms. The aim of this study was to …

Levamisole has been used in a wide array of clinical research and treatment settings over
the past two decades, ranging from such diseases as helminthic infestations to various …

Immunological disturbances with impairment of immune function and a higher incidence of
lymphoproliferative disorders and other malignancies have been described in liver cirrhosis …

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were isolated from 17 human hepatocellular carcinomas
(HCQ. The proliferation of TIL cultured with recombinant interleukin-2 (rlL-2) was evaluated …

BACKGROUND Hypoxia up‐regulates insulin‐like growth factor‐2 (IGF‐2) and thus
