Evaluation of TTV replication as a biomarker of immune checkpoint inhibitors efficacy in melanoma patients.

Torque Teno Virus (TTV) is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded and circular DNA virus that infects the majority of the population worldwide. Increased levels of plasma TTV viral load have been observed in various situations of immune deficiency or dysregulation, and several studies have suggeste...
