A novel multiplex immunohistochemistry antibody panel was used to audit T cell functionality and spatial localization in resected tumors from treatment-naive patients with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) compared to a second cohort of patients treated with neoadjuvant agonistic CD40 (αCD40) monoclonal antibody therapy. Here, CD40 is linked to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
