Figure 1. Representative images of IHC analysis of TAM markers in IBC. (A) CD68+ macrophages are mostly present in TS (IHC for CD68, 400× magnification). (B) CD68+ macrophages are present in both TS and TN (IHC for CD68, 400× magnification). (C) CD11c+ macrophages are mainly present in TS (IHC for CD11c, 400× magnification). (D) CD11c+ macrophages are mostly present in TN (IHC for CD11c, 400× magnification). (E) CD163+ macrophages are chiefly present in TS (IHC for CD163, 400× magnification). (F) CD163+ macrophages are present in both TS and TN (IHC for CD163, 400× magnification).
IBC = invasive breast cancer; IHC = immunohistochemistry; TAM = tumor-associated macrophage; TS = tumor stroma; TN = tumor nest.
