DC count by subtype. Lineage(−), HLA-DR(+), and CD11c(+) myeloid DC (mDC) and Lineage(−), HLA-DR(+), and CD123(−) plasmacytoid DC (pDC) fractions were counted and compared between the stage I + II and stage III + IV cancer patients. Significantly fewer mDCs were observed in stage III + IV cancer patients compared with the controls, and significantly fewer pDCs were observed in stage I + II and stage III + IV lung cancer patients compared with the controls.
