Interestingly, we were able to rescue this impairment by treating mice with ICOS-Fc, a recombinant soluble protein composed of the ICOS extracellular portion fused to the IgG1 Fc portion, which has been previously shown to trigger ICOSL, thereby inhibiting the development of experimental tumor metastases in vitro and tumor angiogenesis in vivo [9,11,17,18]. The gene discussed is ICOS; the disease is neoplasm.
