Chemotherapy priming sensitizes triple-negative breast cancers to immune checkpoint blockade. However, immune suppressive myeloid cells may impede its optimal effect. Here authors characterise the immune suppressive myeloid cells via single-cell analyses of immune cells from low dose chemotherapy treated breast tumours and identify STAT1 signalling as a regulator for immune suppressive state.
