TLR4-induced inflammatory responses contribute to the tumor-associated macrophages formation and infiltration in patients with diffuse large-B cell lymphoma
To evaluate the expression of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in diffuse large-B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their correlation with patient clinical characteristics, we detected using immunohistochemistry in 81 specimens of DLBCL patients. The correlation between protein expression levels and clinical parameters, as well as the association between CD68 and TLR4 were analyzed. The number of CD68 TAMs was closely related with β2-Microglobulin (P=0.028,
