  2. What if we could trace #cytotoxic #Tcells throughout the human body before and during #cancer #immunotherapy?

    Researchers at the University of Groningen have used a CD8-specific positron emission tomography (#PET) tracer in a phase 1/2 clinical trial. Patients with solid tumors were imaged before and ~30 days after starting treatment with #antibodies against PD-L1, PD-1, and/or CTLA-4.
