To compare the T cell composition among blood, normal tissues, and tumors, the frequency of CD4+ meta-clusters and CD8+ meta-clusters were calculated separately. Then a Shannon equitability index (normalized Shannon diversity index) (19)EH was calculated as:
Where pi was the frequency of meta-cluster i, and M was the number of meta-clusters. The Shannon equitability index ranged from 0 to 1. While the high index indicated similar frequencies across different meta-clusters, the low index indicated certain meta-clusters dominated in the meta-cluster frequency distribution.
