IL-6 blockade with a neutralizing antibody transiently sensitizes mouse glioblastoma to anti-PD-1 by increasing MHCII+ monocytes, CD103+ migratory dendritic cells (DCs), CD11b+ conventional DCs, and effector CD8+ T cells, and decreasing immunosuppressive Tregs. Here, CD8A is linked to glioblastoma.
