CTLA4 and breast carcinoma: In contrast, elevated serum ObR levels were found in all cats with mammary carcinoma (p < 0.0001), with levels above 16.89 ng/mL being associated with smaller tumors (p = 0.0118), estrogen receptor negative status (p = 0.0291) and increased serum levels of CTLA-4 (p = 0.0056), TNF-α (p = 0.0025), PD-1 (p = 0.0023), and PD-L1 (p = 0.0002).
