Proteolysis-targeting chimera against BCL-XL destroys tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells

Targeting regulatory T cells (Treg) represents a therapeutic option to abrogate tumor-associated immune suppression. Here the authors show that pharmacological degradation of BCL-XL preferentially induces apoptosis of tumor-infiltrating Treg, promoting CD8 T cell activation and anti-tumor immune res...
