Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of CD4, CD8, CD20, CD56, CD68, CD117, and CD177 by immune cells infiltrated tumor tissues of GC patients. Representative images of immune markers staining in immune cells from GC samples are shown at ×200 (100 mm) original magnification. Positive expression of CD4 (a), CD8 (b), CD20 (c), CD56 (d), CD68 (e), CD117 (f), and CD177 (g) infiltrated in tumor tissues with a regular distribution. In order to show the distribution from immune cells more clearly, we used computerized imaging system Image-Pro Plus version 6.2 to highlight positive areas in different colors.

Article Snippet: After cleaned in distilled water, the paraffin sections were pretreated with citrate buffer, pH 6.0 (CD177) and EDTA Antigen Retrieval Solution, pH 8.0 (CD4, CD8, CD20, CD56, CD68, and CD117) for 3 min at 120°C in a pressure cooker, and endogenous peroxidase was inhibited with 3% H 2 O 2 in PBS for 10 min. Nonspecific actions in the sections were also blocked with goat serum (BOSTER, USA) for 1 h at room temperature.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The schematic diagram of the distribution of immune cells. The blue points represent CD20 + B cells, the yellow points represent CD4 + T cells, the orange points represent CD117 + mast cells, the green points represent CD68 + macrophages, the pink points represent CD8 + T cells, the black points represent CD56 + NK cells, and the red points represent CD177 + neutrophils. Although not all immune cells are distributed according to this fixed law, this pattern can basically reflect the general characteristics of their distribution.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Differences in immune marker positive area/total area between the two groups (survival time of patients in group A was less than 1 year and group B survival time was more than 5 years) by the rank sum test. (a) CD4 + T cells ( P < 0.001). (b) CD8 + T cells ( P < 0.001). (c) CD20 + B cells ( P < 0.001). (d) CD68 + macrophages ( P < 0.001). (e) CD117 + mast cells ( P < 0.001). (f) CD177 + neutrophils ( P < 0.001).
