FUT8-mediated aberrant N-glycosylation of B7H3 suppresses the immune response in triple-negative breast cancer

B7H3 is a transmembrane B7 family checkpoint molecule present on many cancer cells. Here the authors show that FUT8 mediates fucosylation of B7H3 to limit the immune response to triple-negative breast cancer as a potentially targeted mechanism of non-responsiveness to current checkpoint therapies.
