[Immune status of oral lichen planus and squamous cell cancer patients-T subgroup cells evaluation in PBL]
The levels of T-subgroup cells for 30 oral lichen planus(LP) and 25 cancers are reported.15 health are constracted.The results are as follows:Health OKT value T(3) 62.8+/-1.81,T(4) 44.4+/-7.34,T(8) 25.5+/-0.71,T(4)/T(8) 1.79+/-0.13;OLP OKT value:T(3) 53.2+/-1.92,T(4) 40.2+/-1.9, T(8)38.61+/-2.2, T(4)/T(8) 1.10+/-0.07,Cancer value 52.9+/-1.9,40.2+/-2.3,36.4+/-2.05,1.17+/-0.09. Both group of patients were compared with health.The level of OKT(3) OKT(4)/OKT(8) was decreased significantly(0.001),but OKT(8) qA increased significantly(0.001).This shows that T cell immune function is decreased in the oral LP and cancer patients.
