Surprisingly, we previously found that mice deficient in iNKT cells developed spontaneous CD8+ T cells responses partially effective at inhibiting metastases in mice bearing the 4T1 mammary carcinoma, and showed a markedly improved response to treatment with local radiotherapy and anti-CTLA-4 antibody compared to wild type (WT) mice. The gene discussed is CTLA4; the disease is breast carcinoma.
