CD40 agonism improves anti-tumor T cell priming induced by the combination of radiation therapy plus CTLA4 inhibition and enhances tumor response
Abstract
ABSTRACTRadiation therapy (RT) combined with CTLA4 blockers converts immunosuppressed (cold) mouse triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs) into immune infiltrated (hot) lesions. We have recently shown that targeting the myeloid compartment to improve dendritic cell activation is required for most TNBC-bearing mice to achieve superior therapeutic responses to RT plus CTLA4 inhibitors.
