Fig. 4From: Merkel cell polyomavirus-specific immune responses in patients with Merkel cell carcinoma receiving anti-PD-1 therapyComparison of T cell receptor clonality by viral status and response to anti-PD-1. a) TCR clonality is significantly higher in patients with VP-MCCs compared to those with VN-MCCs (pā=ā0.0001 by Mann-Whitney test). b) TCR clonality is not associated with response to pembrolizumab (pā=ā0.2636 by Mann-Whitney test). This observation remains true when comparing clonality among responding versus non-responding patients whose tumors are virus-positive (virus(+)ā=āopen circles; virus(ā)ā=āblack squares)Back to article page
