## Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are important antiviral effectors of innate immunity because of their contribution to virus elimination. NK cell‐mediated immunological reaction to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection depends on a fine balance between inhibitory and activating receptors. The aim
BACKGROUND. In 1983, Pretlow et al. reported one classical study of the prognostic influence of eosinophil infiltration in human colon carcinoma. Since then, very few reports have analyzed this supposed prognostic influence in this type of tumor, although there have been several reports of other typ
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) from the short arm of chromosome 8 is frequent in a variety of malignancies, suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor gene in this region. Previous studies suggested that this deletion may correlate with higher clinicopathologic stages in colorectal cancer, but othe
## Communicated by Stephen Chanock Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in cancer initiation and development. Several polymorphisms in the promoters of a number of MMP genes, which can affect the respective MMP production in an allele-specific manner, have been well characterized.
