Fig. 2. TCR metrics in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) versus non-small cell lung-cancer (NSCLC) tumors (the PROSPECT cohort).

Fig. 2

a T-cell density—an estimate of the proportion of T cells in a specimen, b T-cell richness—a measure of T-cell diversity and (c) T-cell clonality—a metric indicating T-cell expansion and reactivity, were derived from 19 SCLCs (red) versus 236 NSCLCs (blue) from the PROSPECT cohort. TCR intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) in 10 SCLC versus 11 NSCLC using (d) the average Jaccard index (JI), a metric representing the proportion of shared T-cell clonotypes, e Morisita index (MOI), a metric taking into consideration not only the composition of T-cell clonotypes but also the abundance of individual T-cell clonotypes and (f) proportion of shared top 20 TCR clonotypes between any paired samples within the same tumors in SCLC (blue) versus NSCLC tumors (red) with multiregional TCR data available. The difference of TCR metrics between SCLC and NSCLC was evaluated using two-sided Mann–Whitney test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
