Figure 1From: Comparative Multi-Epitope-Ligand-Cartography reveals essential immunological alterations in Barrett's metaplasia and esophageal adenocarcinomaSchematic demonstration of the T-cell distribution and expression of apoptotic markers including NfkB within the esophageal mucosa in control, BE and EAC. A T-helper cells are the most frequent T cells in control and BE, whereas in EAC T precursor cells are the most frequent T cells. The position of natural killer cells (CD56+) decreases from controls via BE to the last position of EAC. B The relative frequency of central apoptotic markers as well as p53 and NfkB varies between control, BE and EAC. Biopsies were taken from control, BE, and EAC mucosa and MELC staining cycles, and data processing was performed as described in the Experimental Procedures section.Back to article page
