Figure Lengend Snippet: Kaplan–Maier RFS plots stratified on ( A ) CD11c interface density ratio (IDR) across epithelial–stromal interface, ( B ) CD163 IDR, ( C ) ICOS IDR, ( D ) CD8 IDR, ( E ) density of CD8 cells in epithelial compartment of interface zone, ( F ) presence of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), ( G ) presence of tumor in repeated TUR (re-TUR), ( H ) tumor stage, and ( I ) tumor grade. Continuous variables ( A – E ) are stratified according to median value of indicator.
Article Snippet: We used a CD8 cytotoxic T cell marker (clone C8/144B, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark; dilution 1:100), B cell marker CD20 (clone L26, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark; dilution 1:500), M1 macrophage marker CD11c (clone 5D11, Leica biosystems, Deer Park, NY, USA; dilution 1:100), M2 macrophage marker CD163 (clone MRQ-26, Rocklin, CA, USA; dilution 1:50), and ICOS marker (clone D1K2T, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA; dilution 1:500) for the identification of specific subpopulations of T cells.
