Peptide Synthesis> | … 2015). Tumor-specific and wild-type peptides were synthesized by GenScript. In brief, healthy donor or patient-derived PBMCs were stimulated with 10 μg/mL of mutant peptides for 10 or 12 days in the presence of IL-2 and IL-15 … | Get A Quote |
Response to immune checkpoint blockade in mesenchymal tumors is poorly characterized, but immunogenomic dissection of these cancers could inform immunotherapy mediators. We identified a treatment-naive patient who has metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma and has experienced complete tumor remission for >2 years on anti-PD-1 (pembrolizumab) monotherapy. We analyzed the primary tumor, the sole treatment-resistant metastasis, and germline tissue to explore mechanisms of immunotherapy sensitivity and resistance. Both tumors stained diffusely for PD-L2 and showed sparse PD-L1 staining. PD-1 cell infiltration significantly decreased in the resistant tumor (p = 0.039). Genomically, the treatment-resistant tumor ... More
