Integration of MPATR output for lymphoid markers and delineation of cellular subsets associated with relapse-free survival (RFS) or treatment effects. (A) Unsupervised gating using the cut-offs for each marker generated from the MPATR violin plots (as shown for node 42) to delineate cellular subsets not easily found in bivariate plots. (B) Cox.1 analysis: Density plots of CD19+CD25−/lo B cells (node 86 = CD19+CD25−/loDAF-FM−/lo or+/lo, hazard ratio = 1.777, p = 0.034) from representative short and long RFS samples prior to ipilimumab treatment. (C) Wilc.1 analysis: Representative density plots of CD3+CD8+ effector T cells (node 155 = CD3+CD8+CD25−/loDAF-FM+, RFS ≤ 1 year, mean = −8.666, SD = 0.694; RFS > 1 year, mean = −8.066, SD = 0.956, p = 0.035) at the pre-treatment stage from pateints with short and long RFS. (D) Cox.2 analysis: Naïve or memory CD8+ T cells (node 53 = CD3+CD8+CD127+/loDAF-FM+; hazard ratio = 2.787, p = 0.047) displayed from both RFS group post ipilimumab treatment. (E) Wilc.2 analysis: Density plots of CD8+ naïve or memory T-cell subset (node 150 = CD3+CD8+CD127+or+/loCD25−/loDAF-FM+, RFS ≤ 1 year, mean = −6.979, SD = 0.583; RFS > 1 year, mean = −7.421, SD = 0.577, p = 0.037) from patient samples post treatment. (F) Wilc.3 analysis: A subset of regulatory T cells (node 159 = CD3+CD4+CD127−/loCD25+DAF-FM+, mean = −0.325, p = 0.029) demonstrating a downward trend after treatment without any association with RFS. (G) Cox.4 analysis: Representative density plots of CD11c+ natural killer cells (node 42 = CD56+/loCD11c+CD25−/loDAF-FM+, hazard ratio = 1.659, p = 0.018) showing inverse trends from samples of short and long term RFS in reponse to ipilimumab treatment. (H) Wilc. 4 analysis subset of rare CD4 CD8 double negative T cells (node 185 = CD3+ CD127+or+/loCD25−/loDAF-FM+, RFS ≤ 1 year, median = 0.510; RFS > 1 year, median = −0.084, p = 0.041) increased after treatment in a subset of short-term RFS patients and decreased in the majority of long-term RFS patients.
