Popis: Natural Killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity as well as surface markers of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in head and neck cancer patients are investigated with regard to the prognosis of patients.Patients (n=31) were grouped as follows:(1) untreated (UT) group (n=29), (2) treated, disease-free (TDF) group (n=21), and (3) group with recurrent disease (RD;n=6).NK and LAK activities were assayed by 51 Cr release method using K-562 cells in NK assay or Daudi cells in LAK assay as targets. Also LAK induction rate from PBL by interleukin-2 (IL-2) was measured.Analysis of surface markers of PBL (Leu 2, Leu 3, Leu 4, Leu 7, Leu 11, HLA-DR, and M1) including two color analysis (Leu 4×HLA-DR, Leu 2×Leu 15, Leu 3×Leu 8, and Leu 7×Leu 11) were performed using flow cytometry system.NK activity (P
