Title:

NKTR-214 immunotherapy synergizes with radiotherapy to stimulate systemic CD8+ T cell responses capable of curing multi-focal cancer

Published date:

Excerpt:
Animals bearing bilateral subcutaneous MCA-205 fibrosarcoma or CT26 colorectal tumors were treated with NKTR-214, RT, or combination therapy...Combination therapy resulted in increased magnitude and effector function of tumor-specific CD8+ T cell responses...This data suggest that CD8+ T cells are the primary driver of the antitumor response to combination therapy (figure 1D).
