T cells, B cells, DC/monocytes in the blood of NSCLC patients and healthy controls. Percentages of the cells in the peripheral blood of NSCLC patients and healthy controls as obtained by flow cytometry analysis. Percentages indicated in the plots represent the percentages of phenotypic marker expression in the parental population, which are presented in brackets. Data presented as Mean ± SEM of the. (^{∗,∗∗∗,∗∗∗∗} P < 0.05, 0.001, 0.0001, resp.).
