While anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibition alone had little effect, it further enhanced intratumor T cell activation in combination with anti-TNFR1. The major cellular alteration in the tumor microenvironment in the absence of TNFR1 signaling was a large increase in DC number and immunostimulatory phenotype. This may reflect a direct effect on DCs, because TNF induced TNFR1-dependent apoptosis of bone-marrow-derived DCs. The therapeutic response to anti-TNFR1 alone was superior to the combination of DC-activating agonistic anti-CD40 and Flt3 ligand (Flt3L).
