“…It has been shown in a range of cutaneous tumours that the NK cell compartment of mononuclear cells is unlikely to be of central importance in host antitumour responses [17], suggesting a major role for T lymphocyte-mediated antitumour mechanisms [18][19][20]. We confirmed these findings by phenotypie analysis of uncultured TILs obtained from early primary melanoma.…”

“…1,2 These T cells are only sporadically seen within the tumour nests, indicating the lack of an effective cell-mediated immune response. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II antigens, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), CD40, and CD80 (B7.1) have been shown to play an important role in T-cell activation and proliferation.…”

“…The variable peritumoural inflammatory infiltrate in BCC mainly consists of T lymphocytes, [1][2][3] but T-cell invasion of tumour nests, or T cells in close apposition with the tumour cells, are rarely observed. Together with molecules such as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II antigens and B7, ICAM-1 is an essential molecule in facilitating cytotoxicity towards tumour cells.…”
