Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Schematic summary of the design of exploratory analyses. b , Box plots showing the fold change in proportions of immune cell types among PBMCs in long-term responders (LR; n = 9), early progressors (EP; n = 9) and both ( n = 18). c , PCC of each cell type between C1D1 and C1D15. d , Bar plots showing the TCR diversity, as represented by the inverse Simpson index for CD8 + T cells in LR ( n = 15) and EP ( n = 14) between C1D1 and C1D15. e , Box plots showing the fold change in the proportions of CD8 + T cell subclusters among NK/T cells among LR ( n = 9), EP ( n = 9) and both ( n = 18). f , Violin plots showing the module score for gene sets related to inflammatory signature (left) and nivolumab responsiveness in each CD8 + T cell cluster (right). g , Heat map showing expression levels of CD8 and genes related to cytotoxicity and T cell exhaustion among MKI67 + CD8 + T cells. h , Proportion of Ki-67 + cells among CD8 + T cells and PD-1 + CD8 + T cells, before and after treatment, among LR ( n = 7) and EP ( n = 8). i , Proportion of Granzyme B + perforin + cells among CD8 + T cells and PD-1 + CD8 + T cells, before and after treatment, among LR ( n = 7) and EP ( n = 8). Gating strategy of CD8 + T cells is shown in Extended Data Fig. . * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.005, **** P < 0.001, according to a Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired groups and two-tailed Mann–Whitney U -test for unpaired groups. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. In each box plot, the box represents the interquartile range, and whiskers represent minima and maxima. RCC, renal cell carcinoma.
