Accurately profiling systemic immune responses to cancer initiation and progression is necessary for understanding tumor surveillance and, ultimately, improving therapy. Here, we describe the SYLARAS software tool (SYstemic Lymphoid Architecture Response ASsessment) and a data set collected with SYLARAS that describes the frequencies of immune cells in primary and secondary lymphoid organs and in the tumor microenvironment of mice engrafted with a standard syngeneic glioblastoma (GBM) model. The data resource involves profiles of 5 lymphoid tissues in 48 mice and shows that GBM causes wide-spread changes in the local and systemic immune architecture. We perform in-depth analysis of one significant tumor-induced change: depletion of a specialized subset of CD45R/B220+ CD8+ T cells from the circulation and their accumulation in the tumor mass. Immunoprofiling of tissue microarrays demonstrates the presence of similar cells in human GBM.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
