Fig. 1 (a–d) Immunohistochemistry (IHC) detection of mature CD83+ dendritic cells on bladder tumor sections; note infiltration in lymphoid aggregate (a and c), in the papillary axis (b), and in the underlying stroma (d). (e–h) IHC detection of expression of CD68 on bladder tumor sections: note infiltration in the stroma (e and h), in a lymphoid aggregate (f), and in the tumor (e, g, and h), and expression of CD68 by tumor cells (e and g). Microscopic field: ×10, except for d and g at ×20. European Urology 2009 55, 1386-1396DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2009.01.040) Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions
