Toll-Like Receptor Transcriptome in the HPV-Positive Cervical Cancer Microenvironment

Table 1

Sample size. Twenty-five frozen cervical biopsies were categorized into 3 groups; normal tissue, case IDs N1–N11; dysplastic tissue, case IDs D1–D10; invasive carcinoma tissue, case IDs C1–C4. Laser capture microdissection was used to separate each specimen into epithelium and stroma compartments. The HPV infection status is shown, and the specific HPV type is noted when known.
