Combined OX40 ligation plus CTLA-4 blockade: More than the sum of its parts

It is becoming clear that combination strategies will be necessary to augment cancer immunotherapy. We report that combination anti-OX40/anti-CTLA-4 mAb immunotherapy improves survival by enhancing effector T cell expansion and function, even while inducing Th2 cytokine production. Furthermore, IL-4...

Sumario:It is becoming clear that combination strategies will be necessary to augment cancer immunotherapy. We report that combination anti-OX40/anti-CTLA-4 mAb immunotherapy improves survival by enhancing effector T cell expansion and function, even while inducing Th2 cytokine production. Furthermore, IL-4 blockade in addition to combination therapy significantly improved anti-tumor efficacy.
