CTLA-4 Therapy--Permission to used Diagrams..Melanoma Jim Breitfeller

Dr. Wolchok,

My name is Jim Breitfeller. I am a patient/survivor/researcher stage IV Melanoma under the care of Dr. Kirkwood. I completed a therapy that has prolonged my survival and would like to write a paper. Blog on the subject matter.

It is all about CTLA-4 Blockage therapy. Some of your diagrams and tables would be helpful in my presentation. I am asking for permission to use some of them. I will cite and give credit.

“The Mechanism of Anti-CTLA-4 Activity and the Negative Regulation of T-Cell Activation”

Thanks in advanced

Jim Breitfeller

Reply from Dr. Wolchok:

Dear Mr Breitfeller,

Thank you for your efforts. Please let me know which figures you would like to use. Some have been published and you may need permission from the publisher to re-use. I apologize if I cannot reply in an efficient fashion as patient care responsibilities and some urgent grant renewals are my top priority right now. I applaud your efforts.

Best wishes,

Jedd Wolchok
