Figure 3

Comparison of the numbers of (a) CD83-expressing cells and (b) CD1a-expressing cells in tumor-free and tumor-containing sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) of breast cancer patients. Each data point represents the mean number of cells per high-powered field (in five fields) (magnification, × 400) from a paraffin-embedded section analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The horizontal bars represent the median number for each group. A trend toward a greater number of CD83-expressing cells in the tumor-free SLNs than in the tumor-containing SLNs was seen (P = 0.07); no difference in the number of CD1a-expressing cells distinguished the two types of SLNs (P = 0.93).
