Relationship between the OPNI and intratumoral CD8+ cell counts in the 47 patients with OSCC.
(A) Box plot showing the number of intratumoral CD8+ cells according to OPNI status. The differences in mean values between the two groups were statistically analyzed using the Mann–Whitney's U test. **, p < .01.
(B) Representative photographs of the results of double-immunohistochemical staining of CD8 (brown) and cytokeratin (green) in OPNI-high tumor. Original magnification: ×400, scale bar = 50 μm.
(C) Representative photographs of the results of double-immunohistochemical staining of CD8 (brown) and cytokeratin (green) in OPNI-low tumor. Original magnification: ×400, scale bar = 50 μm.
