The landscape of T cell antigens for cancer immunotherapy

A Peri, N Salomon, Y Wolf, S Kreiter, M Diken… - Nature cancer, 2023 - nature.com
The remarkable capacity of immunotherapies to induce durable regression in some patients
with metastatic cancer relies heavily on T cell recognition of tumor-presented antigens. As …

Mismatch repair deficiency is not sufficient to elicit tumor immunogenicity

PMK Westcott, F Muyas, H Hauck, OC Smith… - Nature Genetics, 2023 - nature.com
DNA mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) is associated with a high tumor mutational burden
(TMB) and sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Nevertheless, most …

CD8+ T cells in the cancer-immunity cycle

JR Giles, AM Globig, SM Kaech, EJ Wherry - Immunity, 2023 - cell.com
CD8+ T cells are end effectors of cancer immunity. Most forms of effective cancer
immunotherapy involve CD8+ T cell effector function. Here, we review the current …

Epigenetic regulation of T cell exhaustion

JA Belk, B Daniel, AT Satpathy - Nature immunology, 2022 - nature.com
Chronic antigen stimulation during viral infections and cancer can lead to T cell exhaustion,
which is characterized by reduced effector function and proliferation, and the expression of …

Cancer vaccines: Building a bridge over troubled waters

MLC Sellars, CJ Wu, EF Fritsch - Cell, 2022 - cell.com
Cancer vaccines aim to direct the immune system to eradicate cancer cells. Here we review
the essential immunologic concepts underpinning natural immunity and highlight the …

[HTML][HTML] Conventional type I dendritic cells maintain a reservoir of proliferative tumor-antigen specific TCF-1+ CD8+ T cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes

JM Schenkel, RH Herbst, D Canner, A Li, M Hillman… - Immunity, 2021 - cell.com
In tumors, a subset of CD8+ T cells expressing the transcription factor TCF-1 drives the
response to immune checkpoint blockade. We examined the mechanisms that maintain …

[HTML][HTML] Tissue-specific abundance of interferon-gamma drives regulatory T cells to restrain DC1-mediated priming of cytotoxic T cells against lung cancer

M Zagorulya, L Yim, DM Morgan, A Edwards… - Immunity, 2023 - cell.com

sought to understand how factors unique to the tumor-draining mediastinal LN (mLN) impact …

T cell egress via lymphatic vessels is tuned by antigen encounter and limits tumor control

MM Steele, A Jaiswal, I Delclaux, ID Dryg… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Antigen-specific CD8+ T cell accumulation in tumors is a prerequisite for effective
immunotherapy, and yet the mechanisms of lymphocyte transit are not well defined. Here we …

Bispecific PD1-IL2v and anti-PD-L1 break tumor immunity resistance by enhancing stem-like tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells and reprogramming macrophages

M Tichet, S Wullschleger, A Chryplewicz, N Fournier… - Immunity, 2023 - cell.com
Immunotherapies have shown remarkable, albeit tumor-selective, therapeutic benefits in the
clinic. Most patients respond transiently at best, highlighting the importance of …
