It has recently been shown that human T-cell subpopulation can be identified functionally via surface receptors for Fc fragment of immunoglo-bulins. We detected peripheral blccd T-cells bear-ing the Fc receptor for IgG molecules (Tγ cell) in patients with brain tumors who manifested a variety of immunological abnormalities. We also analyzed immunological values of Tγ cells which were thought to be suppressor and/or a part of killer T cells, comparing with other immunological parameters.

The percentage of Tγ cells was significantly higher in patients with malignant brain tumors than in normal controls (6.54±1.6%). The values of Tγ cells in patients with glioma, metastatic brain tumor, benign brain tumor were 15.4±4.8%, 14.9±3.2%, and 8.1 ±3.7%, respectively. In the patients with glioma, the values increased in the uncontrolled group compared with the well-controlled group. Furthermore, the values were decreased by surgical removal of the tumor.

On immunological study of Tγ cells in the pa-tients with glioma, there was a definite correlation between the values of Tγ cells and ADCC acti-vity. Furthermore, the Tγ cells in the patients showed higher ADCC activity than in normal controls. The values of Tγ cells also correlated with blastogenesis of the peripheral blood lym-phocytes by PHA (r=- O.742, p<O.001) and Con A (r=-0.662, p<0.001).

These results suggest that Tγ cells are playing two important roles in patients with glioma such as suppressor function and ADCC activity, and that these cells may change according to the tu-mor growth. Therefore, measurements of Tγ cells are useful to grasp the immunological condition of these patients.
