We read with interest the BJD online publication by Gambichler and colleagues1 about a decline of programmed death (PD)-1+ circulating T regulatory cells (Tregs) predicting clinical outcome in anti-PD-1 therapy. The study highlights the potential and importance of immune monitoring in anti-PD-1 checkpoint therapy in malignant melanoma. However, their conclusion about anti-PD-1 antibody treatment effecting a decline of PD-1+ Tregs is misleading.
