Abstract Background Inducible T cell costimulator ICOS is an emerging target in immuno-oncology. The aim of this study was to investigate the epigenetic regulation of ICOS in melanoma by DNA methylation. Methods We comprehensively investigate ICOS DNA methylation of specific CpG sites and expression...
