Semiquantitative grading (0-4+) of the number and extent of infiltrating T cells in each pattern of distribution, 0=absent, 0.5=trace, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe and focal, 4 severe and diffuse; The Simpson Diversity Index summarizes the number and extent of clonal expansions demonstrated by sequencing, 0=a single clone, 1=a polyclonal repertoire.
