Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHC-I) negative tumors are refractory to immune-oncology therapies, including resistance to checkpoint blockers, due to the loss of the fundamental recognition of the tumor by CD8+ T-Cells, which drive the adaptive immune attack on the tumor. Immune responses were generated toward the MHC-I negative tumors by combining CTX-009 with CTX-471. This combination was surprisingly synergistic. The proposed mechanism for this effect suggests the involvement of NK-cells, whi ...
