Immunohistochemical Assessment of the Tumour-Associated Epitopes CD44v6 and E48 in Tumour-Free Lymph Nodes from Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Head-Neck Region

We examined immunohistochemically 370 tumour‐free lymph nodes from 41 patients with a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to clarify whether the tumour‐associated epitopes CD44v6 and E48 are suitable for adjuvant postoperative immunotherapy. All the positively immunostained cells found wer...

description We examined immunohistochemically 370 tumour‐free lymph nodes from 41 patients with a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to clarify whether the tumour‐associated epitopes CD44v6 and E48 are suitable for adjuvant postoperative immunotherapy. All the positively immunostained cells found were single cells.
