Dysfunction of natural killer cells in patients with transitional cell carcinoma.

abstract：:The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been found to be positively correlated to the degree of malignancy in gliomas, indicating that poorly differentiated brain tumor cells produce more MMPs than differentiated ones. We determined the production of active MMP-2 in five glial (U138MG, U373MG, A172, C6,...
