説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title><jats:p>Antibody blockade of the B7-H1/PD-1 interaction induces regression of advanced human cancers in some patients, while recurrence occurs in others due to tumor escape from T cell attack. Here, we describe a possible mechanism of tumor escape from therapy caused by biased stimulation of T cells to dominant antigen. Based on this finding, we tested a split immunization approach to prevent cancer recurrence in mouse tumor models. These findings may help design approaches for combination cancer immunotherapies.</jats:p>
