CTLA-4 inhibition produces durable T cell-driven antitumor responses, but understanding which patients achieve a long-term benefit remains unclear. Deep sequencing of rearranged T cell receptor β (TCRβ) genes can monitor the effects of CTLA-4 inhibition and potentially identify patients with long-term survival.
细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关抗原4(CTLA-4)抑制可产生持久的T细胞驱动的抗肿瘤反应,但哪些患者能获得长期益处仍不清楚。重排的T细胞受体β(TCRβ)基因的深度测序可监测CTLA-4抑制的效果,并有可能识别出长期存活的患者。
