Recently, a CTLA-4 antibody and BRAF inhibitors showed survival benefits in advance melanoma treatment. The documentation of immune infiltrates in melanomas early during BRAF inhibitor therapy provides a scientific rationale for combination therapy with both treatments with possible synergistic benefits. This commentary reviews immune responses induced by BRAF inhibitors.
