We are in an era of immuno-oncology (IO) revolution with many approved therapies now available to treat a broad range of cancers. Generally, IO has been focused on harnessing the anti-tumour activity of certain cancer-fighting T-cells , a key cell type involved in the adaptive immune defense system.
