Figure 1.
FoxP3 expression in 4 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples. FoxP3-positive cells belong principally to the CD4+ Treg subset, the presence of which is widely variable in different HCC tissues. The distribution pattern of FoxP3 does not show an apparent preference for any tumour sub-localization, as Tregs are found in parenchymal as well as stromal areas of HCC (upper right and lower right images, respectively). Representative images at 10×. The small images are a 200× of the selected area.
