Myeloid cells are the predominant cell type in the tumor microenvironment of human and murine glioblastoma (GBM). By generating a mouse model deficient for all monocyte chemoattractant proteins, here the authors show that blocking monocyte recruitment promotes a compensatory neutrophil influx and that concomitant neutrophil inhibition is required to improve survival in GBM preclinical models.
