A total of 49 fresh lung tumors were evaluated for PD-L1 expression by IHC and quantified for CD8, CD3 and CD45 mRNA by RT-qPCR. (A) CD45 (RT-qPCR) did not correlate with PD-L1 (IHC, 1% and 50% cut-off). (B) Also, CD3 marker (qPCR) was not significantly correlated with PD-L1 (IHC, 1% and 50% cut-off). (C) CD8 marker (RT-qPCR) was significantly correlated with PD-L1 (IHC) for 50% cut-off but not for 1% cut-off.
