Abstract
High levels of immune infiltrate in breast cancers has been shown to be associated with improved survival. It is unknown if simply quantity dictates prognosis or if there are important qualitative differences. We have identified a specific T cell immune subset that we believe is critical to anti-tumour immune responses. This project will delineate this population in greater detail as well as understand the cues that attract and draw in this critical immune population into breast cancers.
