Popis: To explore whether the variation in clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) reflects intrinsic characteristics of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), TILs from multiple tumor types were analyzed by multiparameter flow cytometry. Recent work identified CD39+CD103+ double positive (DP) CD8 TIL as tumor-reactive, therefore we assessed this phenotype in primary NSCLC (n=28), BCa (n=23), HNSCC (n=23), and RCC (n=23) specimens. TILs from NSCLC and HNSCC had significantly higher frequencies of DP T cells than BCa and RCC (NSCLC: median=34.2, IQR=15.0–53.8%; HNSCC: median=28.6%, IQR=13.5–44.5%), while TILs from BCa and RCC had low frequencies of DP T cells (BCa: median=2.4%, IQR=1.1–3.9%; RCC: median=4.2%, IQR=1.5–16.6%). Additionally, DP cells in NSCLC and HNSCC were co-expressed immune checkpoint markers PD-1, TIM-3, and LAG-3 at a higher frequency than RCC or BCa (P Supported by GlaxoSmithKline and the Providence Portland Medical Foundation
