Oestrogen receptor concentration and macrophage infiltration in human breast cancer.
European Journal of Surgical Oncology: the Journal of the European …, 1986•europepmc.org
Oestrogen receptor concentration and percentage macrophage content were estimated in
40 human primary breast cancers. Macrophages were identified by Fc (IgG) receptor
expression and by the presence of a macrophage-associated antigen. A significant inverse
correlation between receptor concentration and macrophage content was found, and this
was strengthened by correcting receptor level for tumour cellularity.
