Solid tumors vary by the immunogenic potential of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the likelihood of response to immunotherapy. The emerging literature has identified key immune cell populations that significantly impact immune activation or suppression within the TME. This study investigated candidate T-cell populations and their differential infiltration within different tumor types as estimated from mRNA co-expression levels of the corresponding cellular markers.

Protozoa present in water for human consumption represent a significant public health risk to a greater extent in the most vulnerable populations. Identifying protozoa in a traditional way through microscopy or with more advanced technologies such as molecular biology may present limitations in sensitivity, specificity, time, and costs. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy have potential as an alternative for the detection of protozoa in water used for human consumption.
