NCAM1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Methods: We analyzed the frequencies of circulating T cells (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+), B-cells (CD19+), NK-cells (CD3-CD16+CD56+ cell), and NKT-cells (CD3+CD56+ cells) within CD45+ cells (lymphocytes) in 80 patients with stage IIIB-IIIC NSCLC, and in 40 healthy controls using eight-color flow cytometry.
