Deskripsi

Cancer immunotherapy is ineffective in a subset of patients. Here the authors show that, in a mouse model of melanoma, resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors relies on loss of tumor-specific T cells through FasL-mediated apoptosis triggered by polymorphonuclear-myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
