a Representative images of each TLS maturation category, showing DCs (CD1c, light blue), CD4 T cells (CD4, yellow), CD8 T cells (CD8, orange), B cells (CD19, red), follicular DCs (CD21, green), plasma cells (CD138, purple) and DAPI. b Total cell counts in high-power field (HPF) based on TLS maturation category. c Composition of six immune cell subsets in TLSs according to each maturation category. d Proportion of CD138+ plasma cells in TLSs according to each maturation category. Scale bars = 200 µm. Comparisons were made by Mann–Whitney U test.
