Moreover, IHC staining of HCC tumor tissues from our cohort also revealed significant correlations of B4GALNT1 levels with the numbers of infiltrating CD163 + TAMs (R2 = 0.06, p = 0.019) and CD4 + T cells (R2 = 0.05, p = 0.038) (Fig. 5f, g and h). This evidence concerns the gene CD163 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
