A research team searches for every gene that helps tumors evade immunotherapy

Broad Institute

As a first step, Manguso set his sights on treatments called PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, which at the time had shown tremendous promise in clinical trials and would receive their first FDA approval in 2014. The findings suggest a complex, context-dependent relationship between IFNγ signaling and the anti-tumor immune response.

Targeting the immunotherapy potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 with new advancements in protein engineering

Drug Target Review

Natural killer (NK) cells are another immune cell type that, as the name suggests, also have potent cell-killing activity, and have a well-known role in the anti-tumour immune response. In the context of a tumour microenvironment, Tregs are often present in high numbers, preventing an effective immune response to the tumour.
