Relationship between the levels of CD4+T and CD8+T in the peripheral blood to that of the carcinoma and normal adjacent tissues.
| Group | CD4+T | CD8+T | CD4+T/CD8+T | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High | Low | High | Low | High | Low | |
| Peripheral blood | 46 (49.5) | 47 (50.5) | 40 (43.0) | 53 (57.0) | 47 (50.5) | 46 (49.5) |
| Normal adjacent tissues | 44 (47.3) | 49 (52.7) | 37 (39.8) | 56 (60.2) | 37 (39.8) | 56 (60.2) |
| Cancer tissues | 31 (33.3) | 62 (66.7) | 43 (46.2) | 50 (53.8) | 22 (23.7) | 71 (76.3) |
Note: The mean value of CD4+T and CD8+T in peripheral blood and tissues of 93 individuals was calculated as the cut-off value (high vs. low). CD4+T cells ≥ 565.10/μl and CD8+T cells ≥ 421.55/μl in peripheral blood, CD4+T cells ≥ 74.25/HPF and CD8+T cells ≥ 75.78/HPF in tissues were defined as “high”; CD4+T/CD8+T ratio ≥ 1.31 (the mean ratio was 1.31) was considered to be “high.” Results are presented as the number of cases (proportion).
