Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Immune cells will be characterized by flow cytometry, including CD4, CD8 and regulatory T cells, Natural Killer cells, MDSCs and macrophages. We will also look at the activation markers such as CD28, CD137 and CD66b, and the inhibitory markers PD1, PDL-1. RNA will be isolated from the immune cells for any specific gene expression analyzes or RNAseq. The effect of the various radiotherapy regimens on the dynamics of these immune cells will be determined. | — |
