Tryptophan-degrading enzymes in tumoral immune resistance
Tryptophan is required for T lymphocyte effector functions. Its degradation is one of the mechanisms selected by tumors to resist immune destruction. Two enzymes, tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), control tryptophan degradation through the kynurenine pathway....
