PD-L1 on the surface of tumor cells binds its receptor PD-1 effector T cells, thereby suppressing their activity. Antibody blockade can activate an anti-tumor immune response leading to durable remissions in a subset cancer patients. Here, we describe alternative mechanism activity involving secretion tumor-derived exosomes. Removal exosomal inhibits growth, even models resistant anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Exosomal from suppresses cell activation draining lymph node. Systemically introduced...
