th the antitumor effects. Oral administration of Bifidobacterium alone improved tumor control to the same degree as anti–PD-L1 therapy (checkpoint blockade), and combination treatment nearly abolished tumor outgrowth. Augmented dendritic cell function leading to enhanced CD8+ T cell priming and accumulation in the tumor microenvironment mediated the effect. Our data suggest that manipulating the microbiota may modulate cancer immunotherapy.РР10РAyelet Sivan et al .
