CD4 and cancer: We performed multiplex immunofluorescence using a tissue microarray of samples from 99 patients with locally advanced NSCLC to elucidate the distributions of tumor cell, T cell subpopulations (CD4/conventional CD4/regulatory CD4/CD8/cytotoxic CD8/pre-dysfunctional CD8/dysfunctional CD8), microvessel density (MVD), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in TC and IM tissues.
