Abstract:
Specific immunological indices have been compared in patients with head and neck tumors. It was found that the EBV-specific antibody levels in such patients were almost one order of magnitude higher than similar indices in healthy humans. The study identified profound changes in the T-cell chain of the immune system which is responsible for intercellular interaction regulation and cell killing. Altered number of lymphocytes and proportion of their main regulatory subpopulations were founded in cancer patients.
