  • Publication number: 20190375845
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating and enhancing efficacy of immunotherapy for a solid tumor in a subject, comprising the step of contacting the subject with a compound or composition that modulates the expression or activity of ETRB, ET-1, ICAM-1, or another protein found herein to play a role in homing of T cells to a solid tumor. The present invention also provides methods of prognosticating a solid tumor in a subject, comprising the step of measuring an expression level of a protein found herein to play a role in homing of T cells to a solid tumor, or a nucleotide molecule encoding same.
    Type: Application
