TABLE 1. Immune subtypes infiltrating solid tumors. List of innate and adaptive immune subtypes infiltrating solid tumour microenvironment. For each one, the pro- or anti-tumoral role (activity), the prevalent metabolism, and the main released factors -as soluble molecules or exposed on the cell surface, are reported.
Abbreviations: TILs: tumor-infiltrating-T-lymphocytes; TIBLs: tumor-infiltrating-B-lymphocytes; DCs: dendritic cells; NK: natural Killer; ILCs: innate lymphoid cells (other than NK cells); MDSCs: myeloid-derived-suppressor-cells; TAM: tumor-associated-macrophages; IDO: Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase; iNOS: inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase; VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor.
