Abstract:Despite the critical roles played by IFN-γ+ CD4 Th1 response in tumor immunity, the translation of their potential in clinic remains challenging. Here, we evaluate the clinical significance of circulating anti-tumor CD4 Th1 response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. 170 naïve-treatment patients were enrolled in this immune monitoring study. The antitumor adaptive Th1 response was assessed by IFN-γ ELISPOT assay in blood lymphocytes using a mixture of eight highly promiscuous and Th1-polarized HLA… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
