  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Immunological analysis of the tumor microenvironment (immunoscore) shows great promise for improved prognosis and prediction of response to immunotherapy. However, the exact immune cell composition in NSCLC remains unclear. Here, we used flow cytometry to characterize the immune infiltrate in NSCLC tumors, non-cancerous lung tissue, regional lymph node, and blood. The cellular identity of >95% of all CD45+ immune cells was determined. Thirteen distinct immune cell types were identified in NSCLC tumors. T cells dominated the lung cancer landscape (on average 47% of all CD45+ immune cells). CD4+ T cells were the most abundant T cell population (26%), closely followed by CD8+ T cells (22%). Double negative CD4−CD8− T cells represented a small fraction (1.4%). CD19+ B cells were the second most common immune cell type in NSCLC tumors (16%), and four different B cell sub-populations were identified. Macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells composed 4.7 and 4.5% of the immune cell infiltrate, respectively. Three types of dendritic cells (DCs) were identified (plasmacytoid DCs, CD1c+ DCs, and CD141+ DCs) which together represented 2.1% of all immune cells. Among granulocytes, neutrophils were frequent (8.6%) with a high patient-to- patient variability, while mast cells (1.4%), basophils (0.4%), and eosinophils (0.3%) were less common. Across the cohort of patients, only B cells showed a significantly higher representation in NSCLC tumors compared to the distal lung. In contrast, the percentages of macrophages and NK cells were lower in tumors than in non-cancerous lung tissue. Furthermore, the fraction of macrophages with high HLA-DR expression levels was higher in NSCLC tumors relative to distal lung tissue. To make the method readily accessible, antibody panels and flow cytometry gating strategy used to identify the various immune cells are described in detail. This work should represent a useful resource for the immunomonitoring of patients with NSCLC.

  We discussed different proposals for how the nature of the Th1/Th2 phenotype of an immune response is determined, and favoured one, the Threshold Hypothesis, as plausible and so useful as the basis for further discussions. The activation of a target CD4 T cell can be facilitated by helper CD4 T cells when the CD4 T cells interact via an antigen-presenting cell. The Threshold Hypothesis states that tentative and robust antigen-mediated CD4 T cell cooperation results in the target CD4 T cell, respectively giving rise, upon activation, to Th1 and Th2 cells. We primarily discussed four topics. We briefly discussed in the background section certain limitations of the Th1/Th2 paradigm in understanding immune class regulation, and the remarkable anti-inflammatory properties of human IgG4 antibody. Secondly, we assessed the role of class II MHC molecules in determining the number of mature CD4 T cells and so affecting the Th1/Th2 phenotype of immune responses. We also discussed the controversial role of CD8 T cells in affecting the Th1/Th2 phenotype of responses to MHC and other antigens, and the potential role of their relative scarcity in neonates in biasing responses towards an antibody, Th2 mode. Lastly, we examined the regulation of the Th1/Th2 phenotype of both primary and ongoing immune responses in the context of the intriguing proposal that antigen initially generates different classes/subclasses of immunity and then selects, by a feedback mechanism, the most effective class. We found this interesting idea difficult to reconcile with various observations.
