    Stromal Reprogramming by FAK Inhibition Overcomes Radiation Resistance To Allow for Immune Priming and Response to Checkpoint Blockade

    Using in vitro systems, scientists found that tumor stromal components, including fibroblasts and collagen, cooperated to blunt radiation therapy (RT) efficacy and impair RT-induced interferon signaling.

    Protective alpha1-Antitrypsin Effects in Autoimmune Vasculitis Are Compromised by Methionine Oxidation

    Plasma and blood neutrophils were assessed for proteinase 3 (PR3) and α1-antitrypsin (AAT). Wild-type, mutant, and oxidation-resistant AAT species were produced to characterize AAT-PR3 interactions by flow cytometry, immunoblotting, FRET assays, and surface plasmon resonance measurements.

    CD8+ Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Abundance Is a Positive Prognostic Indicator in Nasopharyngeal Cancer

    The differential abundances of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes subset populations were characterized through immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples from a training cohort, which was a subset of the RNA-Seq cohort.

    Abstract

    Mass Cytometry Reveals Classical Monocytes, NK Cells and ICOS+CD4+ T Cells Associated with Pembrolizumab Efficacy in Lung Cancer Patients

    Researchers used high-dimensional mass cytometry in baseline blood samples of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with pembrolizumab to evaluate circulating immune predictors of pembrolizumab efficacy.
