CD8A and neoplasm: Although CD8 T cells seem to be linked with a better prognosis, some other immune components such as Th17 or myeloid cells are associated with a poorer prognosis.11,12 Recent computational methods as deconvolution were reported for predicting fractions of multiple cell types in gene expression profiles of admixtures.13–19 These methods could be used to estimate immune infiltrate in a tumour sample.
