Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Anti-PD1 therapy has proven to be effective in various cancer types, but the overall impact of the treatment on the immune system is not yet fully understood. Therefore, we aimed in this study to discover the effects of anti-PD1 therapy on the immune system, especially on NK and NKT cells, which are less studied, but known to be involved in antitumor immune events.
