Title:

NLRC5/CITA expression correlates with efficient response to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy

Published date:
02/05/2021
Excerpt:
Melanoma tumors derived from patients responding to immunotherapy exhibited significantly higher expression of NLRC5 and MHC class I-related genes compared to non-responding patients...These results suggest that NLRC5 tumor expression, alone or together with tumor mutation load constitutes a valuable predictive biomarker for both prognosis and response to anti-CTLA-4 and potentially anti-PD1 blockade immunotherapy in melanoma patients.
