Characterization and quantification of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer

چکیده
Results A positive correlation between CD3 and CD8 expression (rs=0.614, n=24, P 0.001) and CD3 and CD45RO expression (rs=0.621, n=24, P 0.001) were noted in the center of the tumor (CT).CD3 median percentage in CT was higher in grade 2 and grade 3 breast carcinoma compared to grade 1 (P 0.023). CD3 in the center of the tumor and CD8 in the invasive margins (IM) were significantly higher in ER/PR negative Her2/neu positive tumors compared to triple negative breast cancers. Lower CD3, CD8 and FOXP3 percentages were noticed in TNBC tumors. CD45RO median percentage was shown to be higher in the IM region.

Investigation of NK Cell Population in Peripheral Blood and Tumor Lesions of Patients with Breast Cancer
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 peripheral blood and tumor associated Natural Killer (NK) cells in patients with breast ca...

BACKGROUNDS: Seminoma is frequently observed in human and canine testes especially in cryptorchids. Canine and human seminomas are typically associated with leukocytic infiltration. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify the type of lymphocytes that infiltrate to seminomas. METHODS: Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were evaluated by immunohistological techniques in 5 dogs with diffuse seminoma. Routine...

Background: Candida albicans is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens that suppress immunologic mechanisms of the host. It is speculated that structural and secretory proteins of C. albicans have immunomodulatory effects in cancer. Objective: To evaluate the effects of C. albicans structural and secreted proteins on intratumoral CD4/CD8 ratio as well as the survival rate in BALB/c t...
