Deskripsi

Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) shows potential for cancer therapies, but response rates vary. Here, the authors use single-cell analyses to show that, in a 28 patient cohort, patients stratified by mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) percentages show different response rates, and ICI responders have more MAIT cells expressing CXCR4 and granzyme B.
