Popis: The aim of the present study was to measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in CD4+ T cells as a marker of T-cell activity following surgery for colorectal cancer using the ImmuKnow assay kit. A total of 16 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection for colorectal cancer between August and December, 2012 were enrolled in this study, of whom 7 underwent laparoscopic resection and 9 underwent open abdominal surgery. The intracellular ATP levels in CD4+ T-lymphocytes were measured using the ImmuKnow assay kit preoperatively and on the 1st, 4th and 8th postoperative days, as were the white blood cell (WBC) count, lymphocyte count and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The ATP level of the CD4+ T-cells was significantly elevated on the 1st day following surgery compared to the preoperative level (P
