Figure Lengend Snippet: Kaplan–Meier analysis: Association of chemotherapy with prognosis (OS, DSS, and RFS) in the pT2/pT3 + 4 groups stratified by CCL2 expression (>6% or ≤6%). In the pT2 group ( A – C ) with CCL2 (>6%), chemotherapy was associated with shorter OS ( A ; p = 0.002), shorter DSS ( B ; p < 0.001), and shorter RFS ( C ; p < 0.001). In the pT3 + 4 group ( D – F ) with CCL2 (≤6%), chemotherapy was not associated with OS ( D ), DSS ( E ), or RFS ( F ).
Article Snippet: Briefly, after heat pretreatment at 120 °C for 5 min with tris-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (TE)–buffer pH 9 and peroxidase blocking (Dako, Hamburg, Germany), primary antibody against CCL2 (monoclonal mouse IgG1, clone 2D8, Cat.-No. AM06749PU-N, dilution 1:15,000; Acris Antibodies, Herford, Germany) was applied for 30 min.
