Abstract excerpt
Cytolytic score (CYT), calculated from mRNA expression levels of granzyme and perforin, positively correlates with CD8+ T cell infiltration/activity in a variety of cancers. Unlike other cancers, higher CYT has been associated with worse prognosis in glioblastoma (GBM). To address this discrepancy, we sought to investigate the relationship between CYT and immune checkpoint gene score (ICGscore), as well as their...
