ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of autologous transplantation of spleen on rat liver cancer induced by DEN. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into A and B group on average. Total spleens of 40 rats were resected, which preserved in liquid nitrogen. All splenectomy rats were feeded with DEN to induce hepatocellular carcinoma. After 12 weeks ,all rats which had were successfully induced liver cancer were transplanted by autologous spleen in group A. Group B were sham operation as control.
