We noted a significant decrease in the number of CD45/LCA+ cells in grade III meningioma samples (p = 0.008 comparing grade I with grade III) (Fig. 1B) with this decrease corresponding to a decrease in the number of CD3+ T lymphocytes (p = 0.040) (Fig. 1C) – including a decrease in both CD4+ lymphocytes (p = 0.012) (Fig. 1D) and CD8+ lymphocytes (p = 0.011) (Fig. 1E). Here, PTPRC is linked to meningioma.
