Prognostic value of CD83-positive mature dendritic cells and their relation to vascular endothelial growth factor in advanced human gastric cancer

Published: Aug 1, 2005
Abstract
Mature dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role as antigen-presenting cells in tumor immunity. The angiogenic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), inhibits DC maturation. In this study, 174 gastric cancer patients were assessed by immunohistochemistry using anti-S-100 antibody for total DCs, anti-CD83 antibody for mature DCs and anti-VEGF antibody for VEGF expression, and the relationships between total DC density (TDD), mature...
