Deskripsi

Vito et al. investigated the effects of combination therapy in a TNBC tumor model and reported increased tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes that contributed to an improved response to immune checkpoint blockade. By depletion of circulating B cells prior to therapy, the authors showed a loss of therapeutic efficacy and simultaneous expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
