doi: 10.3390/biomedicines10081893
Figure Lengend Snippet: Phenotypes of PD-L1 and pS6 identified in NSCLC patients and their CTCs. ( A ) Percentage of total patients with the identified phenotypes of PD-L1 ( p < 0.001 among the phenotypes at baseline) and ( B ) mean percentage of CTCs with the identified phenotypes of PD-L1 ( p < 0.001 and p = 0.003 among the phenotypes at baseline and EOT, respectively). ( C ) Percentage of total patients with the identified phenotypes of pS6 ( p = 0.021 and p = 0.033 among the phenotypes at baseline and EOT, respectively) and ( D ) mean percentage of CTCs with the identified phenotypes of pS6 ( p = 0.003 and p = 0.001 among the phenotypes at baseline and EOT, respectively). Results [in ( B , D )] are expressed as mean ± SEM. B (white bars), baseline; P 1st (purple bars), post 1st cycle; EOT (green bars), end of treatment.
Article Snippet: For the combination of CK/PD-L1/CD45, filters were first incubated with the goat anti-PD-L1 antibody (1:100 in 1% FBS/PBS, Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA) for 1 h at 20 °C, washed three times and incubated with an anti-goat Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody (1:500; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 45 min at 20 °C.
