title: [A study of lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK) activity of the peripheral blood from patients with gastric cancer].
abstract: The LAK cells activity of the peripheral blood from 28 patients of the gastric cancer was reported. The results showed that the LAK cells activity was significantly lower in the patients than normal controls (P less than 0.001), and there was positive correlation between the LAK cells activity and IL-2 activity (P less than 0.01). In certain extent the LAK cells in the patient increased IL-2 concentration during incubation, but it did not reach the normal level. The plasma of the patient was inhibitory to LAK cells activity of normal human. The LAK cells activity obviously revived after the tumor resected.
