Fig 5. Compared to peripheral blood, tumor-infiltrating IL-10-expressing B cells were further upregulated and CD4+ cytotoxic T cells were downregulated.
(A) The frequencies of IL-10-expressing B cells in the peripheral blood and resected tumor of the same subject. (B) The frequencies of granzyme A, granzyme B and perforin-expressing in the peripheral blood ans resected tumors of the same subject. Paired t test. *** P < 0.001. ** P < 0.01. (C) The correlations between the frequencies of tumor-infiltrating IL-10-expressing B cells and tumor-infiltrating granzyme A, granzyme B and perforin-expressing CD4+ T cells in HCC patients. Pearson correlation test. P < 0.05 is considered significant.
