Abstract
Acquired resistance is a major problem in cancer immunotherapy. Here the authors report a study of two patients with Merkel cell carcinoma under immunotherapy treatment who develop resistance after deep responses for >1 year and identified a novel mechanism of acquired, gene-specific transcriptional suppression of HLAs.
