The expression of YBX1 in DAPI+ cells (r = −0.2739, P = 0.0098) or in TAGLN2+YBX1+ cells (r = −0.2286, P = 0.0322) was negatively correlated with the percentage of CD8+ cells in the tumor region but positively correlated with the percentage of PDL1+ cells (r = 0.2502, P = 0.0187, Fig. 6C). Here, CD8A is linked to neoplasm.
