In addition, Jikova et al. analyzed fresh HCC biopsies and peripheral blood samples from 21 HCC patients treated with sorafenib or PD1/PDL1 blockade therapy to show that non-responders tended to have TIM3 and LAG3 upregulation on circulating T cells compared with responders [86]. The gene discussed is LAG3; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
