Exploiting the stress response to radiation to sensitize poorly immunogenic tumors to anti-CTLA-4 treatment

Radiotherapy sensitizes unresponsive tumors to the antineoplastic activity of antibodies that target the inhibitory receptor CTLA-4 on T cells. One molecular mechanism accounting for this therapeutic synergy is the induction of NKG2D ligands on irradiated tumor cells. The fact that NKG2D receptors m...
