AIM: Determine the reasons behind the differential responses to immunotherapy 

of tumors in different locationsImmune related differences:cells and molecules of the tumor microenvironmentbefore treatment

Differences in intrinsic tumor qualities:resistance to apoptosis, MHC expression, morphological/structural differences

Summary

• Subcutaneous tumors eradicated by Trimab or Treg depletion but kidney tumors are not

• M2 macrophage microenvironment in kidney tumors

• Higher frequency of F4/80hiCD11bintFoxP3+macrophages in kidney tumors

• Immunosuppression may be systemic• More blood vessels and higher MHCI in subcutaneous tumors
