J Clin Invest 128(4): The mechanism of tumor resistance to oncolytic viruses discovered

       An article entitled "PD-L1 in tumor microenvironment mediates resistance to oncolytic immunotherapy" published online in the J Clin Invest indicates that PD-L1 in the tumor microenvironment mediates the resistance of tumor cells to oncolytic virus immunotherapy. It explains the mechanism of drug resistance of oncolytic virus therapy and provides a direction for further optimization of oncolytic virus therapy.

       This research was highly evaluated in a special comment entitled Unleashing the therapeutic potential of oncolytic viruses, which was published in the same issue of J Clin Invest.
