From: Malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia is associated with macrophage polarization
Macrophage marker expression ratios in transforming OLP, non-transforming OLP, OSCC and healthy mucosa. Box-plots show the median macrophage marker expression ratios in the epithelial and subepithelial compartment of transforming OLP, non-transforming OLP, OSCC and healthy oral mucosa: a CD163/CD68 epithelial, b CD163/CD68 subepithelial, c CD11c/CD68 epithelial, d CD11c/CD68 subepithelial, e CD163/CD11c epithelial, f CD163/CD11c subepithelial. All p-values generated by Mann–Whitney-U test are indicated. OLP oral leukoplakia, OSCC oral squamous cell carcinoma
