Immunohistochemical analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of normal and tumor bearing hosts. Smears of peripheral blood cells were incubated with anti-NMT antibody. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (mostly lymphocytes) from control rats were devoid of NMT staining (a), whereas, intense NMT expression was observed in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of colorectal tumor bearing rats as evident from strong staining (b, see arrows). c negative staining of lymphocytes (see arrow) & d; shows negative staining of monocytes (see arrows) in peripheral blood smear of control e; peripheral blood smear of colon cancer patients show positive staining of macrophages (arrows), f; peripheral blood smear of colon cancer patients show positive staining of neutrophil (fat arrows), lymphocyte (lean long arrow) and macrophages (arrow).
