Scientists identify a new cancer immunotherapy target: Dysfunctional B cells

80% Informative
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center scientists have discovered a novel subset of cancer-fighting immune cells that reside outside of their normal neighborhood.
The finding gives oncologists a new target for developing immunotherapies: double negative memory B cells.
B cells are white blood cells, produced in the bone marrow, that neutralize pathogens.
