Abstract
The use of single-cell technologies in characterizing the interactions between immune and cancer cells is in continuous expansion. Indeed, the combination of different single-cell approaches enables the definition of novel phenotypic and functional aspects of the immune cells infiltrating the tumor microenvironment (TME). This approach is promoting the discovery of relevant and reliable predictive biomarkers, along with the development of new promising treatments. In this chapter, we describe the main subsets of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from a phenotypical and functional point of view and discuss the use of single-cell technologies used to characterize these cell populations within TME.
期刊介绍:
For over fifty years, Methods in Cell Biology has helped researchers answer the question "What method should I use to study this cell biology problem?" Edited by leaders in the field, each thematic volume provides proven, state-of-art techniques, along with relevant historical background and theory, to aid researchers in efficient design and effective implementation of experimental methodologies. Over its many years of publication, Methods in Cell Biology has built up a deep library of biological methods to study model developmental organisms, organelles and cell systems, as well as comprehensive coverage of microscopy and other analytical approaches.
