| Research Abstract |
We examined the role of B7-H3, which in the co-stimulating factor of B7 family, activated T lymphocyte in Head and Neck carcinoma. We verified the expression of B7-H3 slightly on Ca9-22 cell line of oral squamous cell carcinoma. CD44+cells are population of cancer stem like cells. I compared the B7-H3 expression on CD44+cell with CD44-cells. Moreover, we confirmed the expression of CD44 variant form is higher than CD44 standard form on Ca9-22. Ca9-22 hadn' t produced most of the TGF-beta.
