Table 1. GBM patients’ characteristics and tumors analysis for B-cell infiltration.

A total of 60 GBM patients’ tumor samples were tested for the presence of CD20+ B cells by IHC. Patients were stratified (variable) by age, gender, newly diagnosed or recurrent, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and O[6]-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation status, CD8+ T-cell infiltration and location. These variables were analyzed for statistical correlation with presence or not of B cells (p-value).
