Abstract
This disclosure describes methods, kits, and systems for scoring the immune response to cancer through examination of tissue infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Methods of scoring the immune response in cancer using tissue infiltrating lymphocytes include detecting CD3, CD8, CD20, and FoxP3 within the sample and scoring the detection manually or scoring the digital images of the staining with the aid of image analysis and algorithms.
