Intraepithelial CD8-positive T lymphocytes predict survival for patients with serous stage III ovarian carcinomas: relevance of clonal selection of T lymphocytes
29 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic effect of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in serous stage III ovarian carcinoma to determine TIL clonality and to correlate this to Her2/neu expression. METHODS: Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded ovarian carcinomas were examined for CD20-, CD3-, CD4- and CD8-positive lymphocytes (n=100), and for Her2/neu-positive tumour cells (n=55/100)...
