Levels of Bim Protein in T-cells Reflect Success of Anti–PD-1 Cancer Therapy
Measurement of levels of Bim (BCL-2-interacting mediator of cell death) protein in circulating T-cells of cancer patients may provide a less invasive strategy to predict and monitor responses to anti–PD-1 therapy. More...16 May 2016
