Monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (mMDSC) accumulate within tumors where they create an immunosuppressive milieu that inhibits the activity of cytotoxic T and NK cells thereby allowing cancers to evade immune elimination. The toll-like receptors 7/8 agonist R848 induces human mMDSC to mature into inflammatory macrophage (MAC<sub>inflam</sub>). This work demonstrates that TNFα, IL-6, and IL-10 produced by maturing mMDSC are critical to the generation of MAC<sub>inflam</sub>. Neutralizing ...[more]
