Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of predicting, assessing or monitoring the sensitivity of a subject having a cancer to an immunotherapy, preferably to an immunotherapy combining at least two immunotherapeutic agents, and to corresponding kits and uses thereof. The method of predicting, assessing or monitoring the sensitivity of a subject having a tumor to an immunotherapy typically comprises a step of assessing, before any immunotherapeutic treatment step in the subject, the presence of CD4+CD25highCD39high T cells in a tumor sample of the subject, the presence of CD4+CD25highCD39high T cells in the tumor sample of the subject being indicative of sensitivity of the subject to the immunotherapy, and the absence of CD4+CD25highCD39high T cells in the tumor sample of the subject being indicative of resistance of the subject to the immunotherapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of assessing, predicting or monitoring the sensitivity of a subject having a tumor or cancer to an immunotherapeutic molecule acting on the subject's T cells, to a method of selecting an appropriate treatment of cancer, to a method of screening or identifying a compound suitable for improving the treatment of a cancer, and to the use of corresponding kits. The method of predicting or monitoring the sensitivity of a subject having a tumor to an immunotherapeutic molecule acting on the subject's T cells typically comprises a step a) of determining, in a biological sample from said subject, the expression level of soluble CD25 (sCD25) and, when the expression level is determined, a step b) of comparing at least said expression level to a reference expression level, thereby assessing whether the subject having a tumor is responsive or resistant to the immunotherapeutic molecule.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle (10) with at least one camera (16), by means of which at least one image area of a surrounding of the vehicle (10) is capturable, the image area comprising a plurality of pixels and being arranged obliquely above a vehicle front as viewed in the direction of travel of the vehicle (10), and with a tunnel detection device (44) designed for determining an average brightness of the at least one image area. The tunnel detection device (44) comprises a device (46) for feature or edge detection, by means of which differences in the brightness of pixels differing from each other are capturable and thus features characterized by abrupt changes in brightness are detectable in the at least one image area. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for operating a camera arrangement for a vehicle (10).
