Evaluation of des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin as a marker protein of hepatocellular carcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fas-expressing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are important antitumor immune effector cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The role of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) in modulating the expression of Fas by CTLs is not known in HCC. The objectives of this study were to characte...
