Microbiome within Primary Tumor Tissue from Renal Cell Carcinoma May Be Associated with PD-L1 Expression of the Venous Tumor Thrombus

Figure 3

Thrombus PD-L1 expression profile in relation to the presence of oral microbiome within the primary tumor. The top bar graph represents the PD-L1 expression within a renal tumor thrombus compared to background normal adjacent tissue. A two-fold difference is demarcated by the red line. The lower bar graph represents the same tumor specimen’s oral microbiome abundance.
