Virus-specific memory T cell responses unmasked by immune checkpoint blockade cause hepatitis
4 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Treatment of advanced melanoma with combined PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade commonly causes serious immune-mediated complications. Here, we identify a subset of patients predisposed to immune checkpoint blockade-related hepatitis who are distinguished by chronic expansion of effector memory CD4 + T cells (T EM cells). Pre-therapy CD4 + T EM cell expansion occurs primarily during autumn or winter in patients with...
