Integrative analysis of single-cell and transcriptome sequencing with experimental validation reveals PKHD1L1 as a novel biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma by Xiangqian Zhang, Jie Wang, Hanyang Su, Xiaojin Liu

“…Through meticulous analysis of immune cell infiltrates and single-cell datasets, we discerned a notable correlation between the expression of PKHD1L1 and the presence of B cells, with a particularly strong association observed in plasma cells. This finding led us to believe that the role of PKHD1L1 may extend beyond its previously reported involvement in cellular immunity, potentially impacting humoral immunity as well. …”
