Abstract

Meeting abstracts To investigate the relationship between tumor-associated CD40 expression, RCC patient survival and tumor stage. The expression of CD40, TUNEL and CD8 in human renal cell carcinomas was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Computer-assisted quantitation of protein expression was used

Highlights

  • Experimental design The expression of CD40, TUNEL and CD8 in human renal cell carcinomas was analyzed by immunohistochemistry

  • CD40 expression in renal cell carcinoma correlates with tumor apoptosis, CD8 T cell frequency and patient survival

  • We show for the first time that tumor-associated CD40 expression correlates with prolonged survival in RCC patients
