Deconvolving Clinically Relevant Cellular Immune Cross-talk from Bulk Gene Expression Using CODEFACS and LIRICS Stratifies Patients with Melanoma to Anti-PD-1 Therapy.

Abstract

This work presents two new computational methods that can deconvolve a large collection of bulk tumor gene expression profiles into their respective cell type-specific gene expression profiles and identify cell type-specific ligand-receptor interactions predictive of response to immune-checkpoint blockade therapy.
