Identification of Pathogenic Immune Cell Subsets Associated With Checkpoint Inhibitor–Induced Myocarditis

Abstract excerpt

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies used to activate the immune system against tumor cells. Despite therapeutic benefits, ICIs have the potential to cause immune-related adverse events such as myocarditis, a rare but serious side effect with up to 50% mortality in affected patients. Histologically, patients with ICI myocarditis have lymphocytic infiltrates in the heart,...
