a positive trendP = 0.061
To investigate the degree of immune cell infiltration at the tumor site in the two subgroups of patients, we further explored the relationship between TIL fraction (estimated by T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-seq)) and TASL expression in the tumors of both groups of patients and found that in the NA-aPD1 group, there was a positive trend of correlation between TIL fraction and TASL expression ( R = 0.539, P = 0.061), whereas in the A-aPD1 group, TIL fraction was not associated with TASL expression ( R = -0.164, P = 0.555, Fig. 4 F), implying that in the NA-aPD1 subgroup, high TASL expression may be positively correlated with the activation of adaptive immunity.
