Abstract:The immune enhancing IL-15 super agonist ALT-803 and Sunitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits immunosuppressive myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and T regulatory (Treg) cells, were examined for their single and combined effects on immune cell phenotype in normal and chronic alcohol consuming (CAC) mice inoculated with s.c. B16BL6 melanoma. ALT-803 alone and in combination with Sunitinib initially increased CD8+CD44hi and CD8+CD44hiCD62Llo memory phenotype T cells in the spleen and PBL. IFN-γ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
