When comparing non-serous carcinoma with HGSOC, VISTA expression levels in both the TCs and ICs of mucinous carcinomas were lower than those in the TCs and ICs of serous carcinomas; moreover, VISTA expression in the ICs of clear cell carcinomas was lower than that in the ICs of serous carcinomas (Table 1). Here, VSIR is linked to serous adenocarcinoma.
