Association between peripheral blood markers and immune-related factors on tumor cells in patients with resected primary lung adenocarcinoma.

We sought to identify peripheral blood markers associated with two immune-related factors-programmed cell death-ligand-2 (PD-L2) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1)-that are expressed on tumor cells in primary lung adenocarcinoma (AD) specimens.
