BACKGROUND.
Thomsen-Freidenreich (T) antigen, the immediate precursor antigen of the human blood MN system, has been detected in malignant cells, but not in most normal cells in which it is cryptic but can be unmasked by desialylation. In this study, we determined the prognostic significance of T antigen in specimens with gastric carcinoma.
METHODS. Expression of T antigen was studied immunohistochemically in 157
gastric carcinoma tissue specimens obtained at surgery from the
