CD8A and breast carcinoma: Matched primary and metastatic human breast cancer samples were analyzed by imaging mass cytometry, identifying 20 shared marker clusters denoting macrophages (CD68, CD163, and CD206), monocytes (CD14), immune response (CD56, CD4, and CD8a), programmed cell death protein 1, PD-L1, tumor tissue (Ki-67 and phosphorylated ERK), cell adhesion (E-cadherin), hypoxia (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α), vascularity (CD31), and extracellular matrix (alpha smooth muscle actin, collagen, and matrix metalloproteinase 9).
