While the above analysis pointed to a common convergence onto a cytotoxic and IFNγ-polarized immune response in DLBCL, not all components of the IFNγ-STAT1-IRF1 axis were sufficiently differentially expressed between COO-classified and COO-unclassified DLBCL to be identified by this approach. This evidence concerns the gene STAT1 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
