Telomere length in naïve T-cells from patients with lung cancer.

Notes: The telomere lengths in purified naïve and memory T-cells from subsets of cases with lung cancer (n=7) and healthy controls (n=4) were compared using the Wilcoxon sum rank test. The mean relative telomere length in naïve T-cells was significantly longer than that in memory cells from the controls (P=0.028), whereas no difference was observed in the cases (P=0.804). The telomere length in naïve cells was significantly decreased in the cases compared with the controls (P=0.012), whereas no difference was observed in memory cells (P=0.927).
