A multivariate modeling framework to quantify immune checkpoint context-dependent stimulation on T cells.

Cells receive, and adjust to, various stimuli, which function as part of complex microenvironments forming their "context". The possibility that a given context impacts the response to a given stimulus defines "context-dependency" and it explains large parts of the functional variability of physiopathological and pharmacological stimuli. Currently, there is no framework to analyze and quantify context-dependency over multiple contexts and cellular response outputs.
