Combination anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy generates waves of clonal responses that include progenitor-exhausted CD8+ T cells

Wang et al., 2024, Cancer Cell 42, 1–16 In the new era of cancer treatment, immunotherapy has become a revolutionary therapeutic approach. Particularly, immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies have significantly improved the survival rates of patients with various types of cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors enhance the body’s immune response to cancer […]
