Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method and a biomarker for predicting efficacy and prognosis of or resistance to an immunotherapy. The use of the biomarkers (TCTP, EGFR, AKT, MCL1, and/or CXCL10) of the present disclosure allows the prediction of resistance to or prognosis of a cancer immunotherapeutic agent and the selection of a therapy guaranteeing therapeutic benefit, thereby finding advantageous applications in treating cancers or tumors resistant to cancer immunotherapeutic agents.
Abstract:
A block copolymer is provided. The block copolymer according to an exemplary embodiment includes a first block represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a second block represented by Chemical Formula 2: wherein COM1 and COM2 are independently selected from a polystyrene moiety, polymethylmethacrylate moiety, polyethylene oxide moiety, polyvinylpyridine moiety, polydimethylsiloxane moiety, polyferrocenyldimethylsilane moiety, and polyisoprene moiety, R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, Ph is a phenyl group, a is 1 to 50, R2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and b is 1 to 50.
