Abstract

Immunotherapy Packs a One-Two Punch: Despite the immune system's best efforts, cancer always seems to be one step ahead. One example of this is that tumor cells express CD47 on their cell surface. CD47 acts as a “don't eat me” signal to phagocytic macrophages. A potential therapeutic strategy could thus be to block this signal. Weiskopf et al. (p. 88 , published online 30 May; see the Perspective by Kershaw and Smyth ) created variants of the CD47 receptor, SIRPα, that could act as high-affinity antagonists of CD47. Although the antagonists blocked CD47 effectively in tumor-bearing mice, on their own they did not induce macrophages to phagocytose the tumor cells. When paired with a variety of therapeutic antitumor antibodies, however, the CD47 antagonists were very effective in treating several mouse tumor models.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
