Expression of TH1/TH2 Cytokines mRNA of PBMC in Hepatocarcinoma Patients

Objective To explore the expression pattern of TH1 type cytokines IL-2、IFN-γmRNA and TH2 type cytokine IL-4 mRNAin peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of primary hepatic cancer(PHC) patients, and observe the different expression of IL-2 and IFN-γmRNA before and after the tumor resection. Methods The expression of IL-2 、IL-4 and IFN-γmRNA of 18 patients and 15 normal volunteers in PBMC was detected by RT-PCR method and the results were analyzed by gel image analysis system. Results The expression of IL-...
