Abstract:Objective: Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease caused by ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, progresses from repeated infections and conjunctivitis to scarring, trichiasis and blindness. It is yet unknown which immune cells are responsible for mediating pathogenesis. Our objective was to deconvolute bulk transcriptomics data in order to estimate how conjunctival immune cell populations change in active and scarring trachoma.
Results: Six deconvolution methods (quanTIseq, TIMER, MCP-counter, xCell, … Show more
