The table describes the drug targets, drug names, drug abbreviations, clinical status, select reported clinical response rates, the typical experimental dose studied in this article, and our own observations of IFN induction. Percent clinical response refers to objective response (combined complete and partial responses as defined by RECIST scoring) as a monotherapy in solid tumors (35–37). The primary doses studied refer to the concentrations used in our experiments when dose–responses are not shown and unless otherwise noted. These doses are based on literature values and our own observations. IFN detected refers to whether we observed IFN signal in the coculture assay with BJ WT cells. N/A: not applicable; NSCLC: non-small cell lung cancer.
