+# Title of Dataset: Radiation therapy induces innate immune responses in patients treated for prostate cancers
+---
+
+Following radiation therapy, proteomic and metabolomic profiles reveal a robust immune activation that correlate with prostate cancer remission 
+
+
+## Description of the Data and file structure
+
+Protein quantities were recorded as relative fluorescent units (RFU), which can be converted to concentrations with standard curves. The samples were batch processed using the SOMAscan Version 3 assays according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This assay is commercially available and has been used to investigate other disease systems including lung cancer.
+
+Mass spectrometry was performed on a performed on a Q-TOF instrument (Xevo G2 QTOF, Waters Corp, USA) operating in either negative (ESI-) or positive (ESI+) electrospray ionization mode with a capillary voltage of 3200 V in positive mode and 2800 V in negative mode, and a sampling cone voltage of 30 V in both positive and negative modes.

+- somalogicfulldata.xlsx contains the proteomics data
+- Normalized_NEG_MODE_AKC.xlsx contains the metabolomics negative mode data
+- Normalized_POS_MODE_AKC.xlsx contains the metabolomics positive mode data
+
+Sample collection times are defined using colors from top left to right:
+
+- Green represenets for the sample collected pre-treatment.
+- Yellow represents for the sample collected 24 hours post treatment.
+- Blue represents for the sample collected 1 month post treatment.
+- Pink represents for the sample collected 3 months post treatment.
+- Brown represents for the sample collected 6 months post treatment.
+- Orange represents for the sample collected after 6 months post treatment.
