CD73 expression on effector T cells sustained by TGF-β facilitates tumor resistance to anti-4-1BB/CD137 therapy

Targeting the immune-stimulatory receptor 4-1BB has only yielded modest benefit in cancer treatment. In this study, the authors show that CD73 expression on effector T cells sustained by TGF-β drives tumor resistance to anti-4-1BB therapy and therefore TGF- β blockade can be used to overcome such re...
