PRDX6, MAGOHB, NUCKS1, DCAF13, and TXN displayed opposite trends on their potential facilitation of CTL function as well as correlations with immune checkpoints and TILs (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) compared to ITGAL, ITGAX, and TMEM119 in NSCLC. This evidence concerns the gene ITGAL and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
