We noted that EP_C1_LMP1 cells uniquely expressed CX3CL1 in tumour, which was predicted to interact with CX3CR1 expressed on peripheral immune cells including CD8_C5_CX3CR1 cells, DC_C1_FCER1A cells, NK cells, and monocytes (Supplementary Fig. 12b), suggesting the chemotactic potential of EP_C1_LMP1 cells to immune cells from peripheral blood. Here, CX3CR1 is linked to neoplasm.
