Molecular and pharmacological modulators of the tumor immune contexture revealed by deconvolution of RNA-seq data

Abstract We introduce quanTIseq, a method to quantify the fractions of ten immune cell types from bulk RNA-sequencing data. quanTIseq was extensively validated in blood and tumor samples using simulated, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry data. quanTIseq analysis of 8000 tumor samples revealed...
