CD47/SIRPα axis: bridging innate and adaptive immunity by Sjoerd H van der Burg, Anneloes van Duijn, Ferenc A Scheeren

“…Furthermore, we discuss the interconnection between the myeloid CD47/SIRPα axis and adaptive T cell responses as well as the potential therapeutic role of the CD47/SIRPα axis in tumors with acquired resistance to the classic immunotherapy through major histocompatibility complex downregulation. Altogether this review provides a profound insight for the optimal exploitation of CD47/SIRPα immune checkpoint therapy.…”
