Immunoglobulin G and Subclasses as Potential Biomarkers in Metastatic Melanoma Patients Starting Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment

Checkpoint inhibitors have improved survival of metastatic melanoma. However, reliable biomarkers to predict response are still needed. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody subclasses reflect immunocompetence in individuals and are known to be involved in essential functions in our immune system. This prospective study evaluated the association between serum IgG with its subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 and antitumor response according to RECIST...
