Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockers revolutionized cancer therapy. Yet, they met only modest success when treating tumors where regulatory T cells recruited at the tumor periphery overwhelmingly suppress the adaptive immune response. To achieve lasting cure, we propose immuno-tuning combinations with purposely engineered targeted agents that block indirect tumor-induced immunosuppression without adversely impacting the adaptive response.
