Acute viral infection results in a PD-1-dependent loss of anti-tumor CD8+ T cell responses: implications for tumor immunotherapy

Year: 2015

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: Meeting abstracts Oncolytic viruses are gaining acceptance as a method of tumor immunotherapy, and some studies have reported improved anti-tumor T cell responses after acute pyretic non-oncolytic infections. Therefore, we hypothesized that viral infections may aid in the immunotherapy of cancer.
