The results showed that the dense lymphocytic infiltrate surrounding neoplastic cells of BCC consisted chiefly of T-Iymphocytes. The lymphocytic infiltrate revealed in parts a pattern of a small lymphocytic follicle with peripherally situated T cells and central B cells. The predominance of T-Iymphocytes in BCC suggests a local cell-mediated immune response. However, the presence of B-Iymphocytes indicates a possible humoral immune reaction. T cells may be responsible for regulating the proliferation, and thus the growth, of malignant epithelial cells in BCC.  ISSN : 0070-9484  Journal Name : المجلة الصحية لشرق المتوسط، منظمة الصحة العالمية  Volume : 3  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1417 AH 1997 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, October 30, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عزة السيسي alsisi, azza Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  23641.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
