IFNγ Mutations Prompt CTLA-4 Inhibitor Resistance.
Cancer discovery - 1 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
A recent study pinpoints loss of IFNγ signaling as one reason why many patients do not respond to the CTLA-4 inhibitor ipilimumab. Analyzing whole-exome tumor sequencing data from 16 patients with melanoma, the researchers found multiple copy-number alterations that led to the loss of key IFNγ pathway genes in 12 ipilimumab nonresponders. Mice bearing melanoma tumors that lacked one of these genes, IFNGR1, also...
