Abstract
Writing recently in Science, Lo and coworkers characterized a critical role of the gut microbiota in CTLA-4 blockade-induced colitis, revealing that an Fc domain deficient anti-CTLA-4 antibody can elicit antitumor responses effectively while avoiding the induction of colitis-like disease.1 This research opens up novel avenues for employing anti-CTLA-4 antibody therapy to circumvent the onset of colitis, which is often considered the Achilles' heel of what is arguably the most efficacious treatment for certain blood cancers and/or solid tumors.
