Resistance to TGFβ suppression and improved anti-tumor responses in CD8+ T cells lacking PTPN22
TGFβ secretion in the tumor microenvironment inhibits T cell-mediated anti-tumor immune responses. Here the authors show that a mutation predisposing to autoimmune diseases confers T cells resistance to TGFβ inhibitory action and could be exploited to engineer immunotherapies for TGFβ secreting tumo...
