Figure 3.
Boxplots of estimated immune cell fractions in each GEO-dataset consensus cluster. We applied the recently developed CIBERSORT method to estimate the fraction of 22 immune cell types. In the ‘Oestrogen response/p53-pathway’ subclass, higher estimated fractions of resting mast cells were observed as compared to the other clusters. In the ‘Immune’ subclass, estimated fractions of M1 macrophages, activated CD4 + memory and CD8 + T-cells, naïve B-cells and plasma cells were higher as compared to other subclasses.
