Selective suppression of melanoma lacking IFN-γ pathway by JAK inhibition depends on T cells and host TNF signaling

Tumor loss of IFN-γ signalling is a major mechanism of resistance to immune checkpoint blockers. Here the authors report that melanoma cells with knockout of IFNγR1 show constitutive JAK1/2 activation and that the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib can overcome resistance to anti-CTLA-4 therapy.
