title: [T- and B-lymphocyte counts and their function in patients with primary liver cancer and alveococcosis].
abstract: The levels of T- and B-lymphocytes were assayed and their functional activity studied in 23 patients with primary cancer and 21 cases of alveococcosis of liver. The lowered levels of T-lymphocytes in both groups and the decreased C3-fraction of B-lymphocytes in primary cancer of the liver were observed. Considerable changes in serum immunoglobulin system, i. e. an increased level of all immunoglobulins (G, A and M), are reported.
