Mφs distributions in the non-tumor (NT) and intra-tumor (IT) regions of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gastric cancer (GC). a Representative immunohistochemistry images of CD68⁺ Mφs, CD204⁺ Mφs, and CD169⁺ Mφs in human HCC and GC tissues. Scale bar, 100 μm. b–d The numbers of CD68⁺ Mφs (b), CD204⁺ Mφs (c), CD169⁺ Mφs (d) and CD204⁺/CD169⁺ Mφs ratios (e) in the NT and IT regions of human HCC and GC tissues. Cell numbers were calculated as the cell count per ×400 field. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
