Abstract
A non-antigen specific immunotherapy consisting of repeated co-administration of poly-IC and blocking antibodies targeting the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) pathway dramatically inhibits tumor development in several mouse models of cancer. Tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells mediate the antitumor effects mediated by PD-1 blockade. This therapeutic avenue can be readily translated to cancer patient treatment regimens.
