Fig. 1: Baseline characteristics of the cohort (N = 514).

a Pie chart of cancer types in the cohort (N = 514). Others include: cervical cancer (N = 5), bladder cancer (N = 4), gallbladder and extrahepatic bile duct cancers (N = 4), prostate cancer (N = 4), brain and nervous system cancers (N = 3), kidney and renal pelvis cancers (N = 3), squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (N = 3), thyroid cancer (N = 3), adrenal gland cancer (N = 3), lipomatous neoplasm (N = 2), mesothelioma (N = 2), basal cell carcinoma of the skin (N = 1), ocular melanoma (N = 1), primary peritoneal carcinoma (N = 1), and thymic cancer (N = 1). b Frequency of patients with high expression of T cell priming markers (N = 514). Horizontal axis represents the percentage of patients with high expression of each T cell priming marker. Transcript abundance was normalized to internal housekeeping gene profiles and ranked (0–100) to standardized values by comparing to a reference population of 735 tumors spanning 35 histologies. The expression profiles were stratified by rank values into “Low” (0–24), “Intermediate” (25–74), and “High” (75–100). See Methods as well.
