Title:Co-culture of primary human tumor hepatocytes from patients with
hepatocellular carcinoma with autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells:
Study of their in vitro immunological interactions.
Version: 3Date:5 December 2012
Reviewer: Frank Tacke
Reviewer's report:
The authors have chosen not to address my concerns that had remained after
the first round of review. It is disappointing that they were not even willing to
perform a simple real-time qPCR to back up their inconclusive FACS data.
However, overall the topic and the results are interesting, thus I think it is fair to
accept the manuscript for publication.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
