B-lymphocyte infiltration inferred by transcriptome deconvolution, was correlated with both IL24 and CCL19 (Fig. 3C, D) and the ratio of IL24 to EMT was significantly higher in R- vs NR- mesotheliomas (Fig. 3E) and was associated for response with an AUROC of 0.889, p = 0.001 (Fig. 3F). Here, IL24 is linked to mesothelioma.
