Our group has previously analyzed determinants of response to immune checkpoint blockade, using orthotopic implantation of KRAS mutant NSCLC lines into syngeneic hosts.11 These studies have demonstrated that the CMT167 cell line is both sensitive to checkpoint blockade with PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and exhibits an IFNγ responsive phenotype in vivo. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
