Pre- and postoperative intradermal administration of OK-432 enhanced the SU-PS skin reaction in patients with gastric cancer, but failed to prevent a fall in the NK activity induced by the operation. The change in NK activity was not associated with a change in the proportion of Leu 7-positive cells, but was related to Leu 11a-positive cells. Intradermal injection of OK-432 increased the proportion of Leu 7-positive cells in the patients in whom they accounted for less than 20% of lymphocyte population. The case was the same with Leu 11a-positive cells. Intravenous injection of OK-432 tended to increase suppressor-inducer T cells (CD4+2HA+ cells), B cells and Leu 7-positive cells. Particularly, the proportions of OK-M1-positive cells and MHC class II antigen-positive cells increased in all patients. Immunotherapy with OK-432 given intravenously at a dose of 0.1 KE appeared to be safe because no side effects were essentially observed.
