Here, we describe the SYLARAS software tool (SYstemic Lymphoid Architecture Response ASsessment) and a data set collected with SYLARAS that describes the frequencies of immune cells in primary and secondary lymphoid organs and in the tumor microenvironment of mice engrafted with a standard syngeneic glioblastoma (GBM) model. The data resource involves profiles of 5 lymphoid tissues in 48 mice and shows that GBM causes wide-spread changes in the local and systemic immune architecture. We perform in-depth analysis of one significant tumor-induced change: depletion of a specialized subset of CD45R/B220+ CD8+ T cells from the circulation and their accumulation in the tumor mass. Immunoprofiling of tissue microarrays demonstrates the presence of similar cells in human GBM. ER -
