Immune Checkpoint Blockade - How Does It Work in Brain Metastases?

abstract：:ADP-ribosylation of the P2X7k splice variant on mouse T cells by Ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferase ARTC2.2 in response to its substrate extracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) triggers cell death. Since NAD+ is released as a danger signal during tissue damage, this NAD+-induced cell death (NICD) may impact th...
