Abstract:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive cancers, highly resistant to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expressing TNFα receptor 2 (TNFR2) contribute to immunosuppression in PDAC. Treg infiltration correlates with poor survival and tumor progression in PDAC patients. We hypothesized that TNFR2 inhibition using a blocking monoclonal antibody (mAb) could shift the Treg-effector T cell balance in PDAC, thus enhancing anti-tumoral responses.. PDAC pati… Show more
