Thermodynamics of Peptide-MHC Class II Interactions: Not all Complexes are Created Equal.

abstract：:Recent studies have demonstrated that combination of modulatory immune strategies may potentiate tumor cell elimination. Most strategies rely on the use of monoclonal antibodies that can block cell surface receptors to overcome tumor-induced immunosuppression or acting as costimulatory ligands to boost activation of T...
