| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop effective diagnostic methods and treatment of oral cancer, NKG2D-ligand expression on human oral cancer cell lines was analysed by a flowcytometer. As a result, the only weak expression of NKG2D-ligand was determined on two tumor cell lines. In addition, the expression of NKG2D-ligand was analysed by immunohistochemical methods on normal cells, the epithelial dysplasia cells and squamous carcinoma cells, no expression was observed on all type cells. On the other hand, the high expression of PD-1 ligands, which are immune control receptors, was determined on two tumor cell lines by a flowcytometric analysis. In the future, we will check the PD-1 ligand expression in the past of pathological tissue specimens.
These results suggested that PD-1 ligands, but not NKG2D ligands, will be new marker for diagnosis of oral cancer.
