Type I Interferon Receptor Expression in Human Pancreatic and Periampullary Cancer Tissue

Abstract

Type I IFN receptors are expressed in pancreatic and periampullary cancer tissues although with great intertumoral and intratumoral variability. A small proportion of both tumors showed a strong expression of the IFNAR-1; only a very small percentage of the pancreatic tumors showed strong expression of the IFNAR-2c.
