Title
Phenotyping Immune Cells in Tumor and Healthy Tissue Using Flow Cytometry Data.
Abstract
We present an automated pipeline capable of distinguishing the phenotypes of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in healthy and tumor-bearing tissues in mice using flow cytometry data. In contrast to earlier work where samples are analyzed individually, we analyze all samples from each tissue collectively using a representative template for it. We demonstrate with 43 flow cytometry samples collected from three tissues, naive bone-marrow, spleens of tumor-bearing mice, and intra-peritoneal tumor, that a set of templates serves as a better classifier than popular machine learning approaches including support vector machines and neural networks. Our "interpretable machine learning" approach goes beyond classification and identifies distinctive phenotypes associated with each tissue, information that is clinically useful. Hence the pipeline presented here leads to better understanding of the maturation and differentiation of MDSCs using high-throughput data.
