Abstract:
In the present study, lymphocyte subpopulations, plasma cells and macrophages infiltrating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and peritumor liver tissues from 78 patients were identified and characterized using a specific immunofluorescent technique with anti-human T lymphocyte globulin(ATG), anti-human B lymphocyte globulin (ABG), antihuman IgG, IgM, IgA serum,and ?-naphthyl esterase staining method. The liver specimen from 9 patients with cirrhosis and 19 healthy persons were selected as control groups. Ultrastructural morphology was electromicroscopically observed sometime. The majority of cells infiltrating cancer tissue were T cells (74%) which selectively accumulated in the zone between cancer and noncancer liver tissue and arranged around cancer tissue in a row way. T cells might kill cancer cells in different ways. This results indicate that the local lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration is a specific immune reaction against HCC.
