Immune Landscape Signatures: Characterization of TME and Response to Therapy
Interplay between various immune cell activities in human tumors (both pro and anti-tumor) contributes to patient response to treatment using checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies (including targeted and standard chemotherapy). We have identified important gene expression-based Immune Landscape Signature (ILS) scores attributable to 11 key immune cell subtypes, individual genes and their ratios. The patient-specific scores from the ILS are used to determine immunogenic status of individual solid tumors and can be evaluated with other clinicopathological and tumor-specific genomic co-factors to understand and ultimately predict survival and individual patient response to therapies.
