Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors increased overall survival for patients with advanced and metastatic melanoma, but long-term treatment responses are still limited to few patients with tumor specific effector T-cells at the tumor sites as predictors for treatment success. Thus, new treatment strategies are required. In preclinical models we could recently show, that targeted activation of melanoma- associated mast cells (MC) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces an effective anti-melanoma immune response in a Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4-dependent manner.
