Immune cell subsets in BC analysed using CIBERSOST. a A bar chart displaying proportions of immune cell subsets. The X-axis shows sample names and the Y-axis shows percentages of 22 immune cell types, which were predicted separately for each gene expression series. b A heat map of the proportions of 22 immune cell types. Sample names and classification are shown below, sample clustering is shown on the left, and 22 immune cell types are indicated on the right. c Correlation matrix of 22 immune cell types. Variables were organized by average linkage clustering. Red and blue colours indicate positive and negative correlation, respectively; colour intensity corresponds to the degree of correlation. d A violin map of 22 immune cell types. The X-axis shows cell types and the Y-axis indicates fractions; blue and red colours represent normal and cancer tissues, respectively
