Abstract

Preclinical modeling and gene expression analyses have yielded distinct observations for the role of immune checkpoint, IDO1, in glioblastoma (GBM). Accordingly, our recent work differs with Garg et al. (2017) with respect to IDO1 among preclinical and bioinformatic GBM datasets. Here, we discuss the methodological differences that affected study interpretation, and potentially, future clinical decision-making for IDO1-targeting approaches against GBM.
