CTLs and correlation with overall survival. Absolute number of CD28+/CD45RA- CTLs in response to DCs electroporated with autologous amplified RCC tumor RNA at baseline (A) and after 5 doses of AGS-003 (B). Increase in the number of CD28+/CD45RA- CTL from baseline to post 5th dose (C). Patients are listed by in increasing order of overall survival (D). Blue bars () identify intermediate risk patients and red bars (
) identify poor risk patients. The correlation between the absolute number of CD28+/CD45RA- CTLs and overall survival was statistically significant by nonparametric bivariate analysis, Spearman’s ρ = 0.8; p < 0.002.
