## Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Lung cancers produce a variety of mitogenic growth factors that stimulate tumor cell proliferation and migration. The cell surface protease, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), is involved in diverse biologic functions, including peptideβme
Non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are often infiltrated by T lymphocytes. It is postulated that the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) reflects a local host immune response against autologous tumors. To identify the nature of NSCLC TIL, we have characterized the molecular structure o
## Abstract DCs are the most potent antigenβpresenting cells that play a major role in initiating the antitumor immune response. Although the clinical significance of TIDCs has been investigated in a variety of human cancers, few studies have focused on the __in situ__ maturation status of DCs. We
