Association between Ki67 and number of follicular helper T cells in follicular lymphoma. (A) The area of the Ki67 binary layer correlates closely with the number of Ki67pos cells automatically counted (left) and the area of the Ki67 binary layer is significantly higher in grade IIIa or IIIb disease than in grade I-II disease (right), n=99 images from n=23 samples. (B) The number of Ki67pos cells correlates closely with the number of PD1pos ICOSpos cells (left) and there are significantly more follicular helper T cells (TFH) (as represented by increased area of PD1/ICOS intersection) in grade IIIa and IIIb disease than in grade I-II disease (right), n=42 images from n=13 samples. (C) The degree of TFH – Ki67 interaction is weakly associated with the number of Ki67pos cells (left), and the proportion of Ki67pos cells in contact with TFH does not differ significantly according to histological grade disease (right) (n=42 images from n=13 samples).
