OESTROGEN DEPRIVATION INDUCES CHEMOKINE PRODUCTION AND IMMUNE CELL RECRUITMENT IN IN VITRO AND IN VIVO MODELS OF OESTROGEN RECEPTOR-POSITIVE BREAST CANCER

Oestrogen deprivation induces chemokine production and immune cell recruitment in in vitro and in vivo models of oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer

Abstract Background Oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is commonly treated using endocrine therapies such as aromatase inhibitors which block synthesis of oestradiol, but the influence of this therapy on the immune composition of breast tumours has not been fully explored.Previous findings suggest that tumour infiltrating lymphocytes a

CTLA-4 antibody-drug conjugate reveals autologous destruction of B-lymphocytes associated with regulatory T cell impairment

Germline CTLA-4 deficiency causes severe autoimmune diseases characterized by dysregulation of Foxp3+ Tregs, hyper-activation of effector memory T cells, and variable forms autoimmune cytopenia including gradual loss of B cells.Cancer patients with severe immune-related adverse events (irAE) after receiving anti-CTLA-4/PD-1 combination immunotherap
