Professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) are deterred from phagocytosing cancer cells that express CD47. Here, the authors show that in glioblastoma mouse models, temozolomide improves the phagocytosis effect of CD47 blockade in APCs and results in the activation of adaptive anti-tumour responses.
