Interestingly, relapsed MM patients showed an inverted CD4+/CD8+ ratio along with high levels of pro-tumoral IL-6 and a positive correlation between %CD14+PD-L1+ and %CD8+PD-1+ cells as compared to both SMM and newly diagnosed MM patients suggesting a highly compromised immune-compartment with low amount of CD4+ effector cells. Here, CD14 is linked to Miyoshi myopathy.
