CD16 expression on neutrophils predicts treatment efficacy of capecitabine in colorectal cancer patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Marginal zone (MZ) B cells play important roles in the early phases of humoral immune responses. In addition to possessing an inherent capacity to rapidly differentiate into antibody secreting cells, MZ B cells also help to regulate the fate of both T-independent and T-dependent blood-borne antigens in the s...
