Excited to share our latest pre-print identifying TAK1 as a tumour intrinsic checkpoint that limits CTL-derived cytokine-induced cell death and immunotherapy responses. Brilliant collaboration between @Kearney_Lab @ONJCRI and @Vervoort_Lab @WEHI_research.

We’ve known about tolerant CD8 T cells for >25 yrs – but what are these cells?! Prematurely exhausted, stalled effectors, or something else?
Our latest @ImmunityCP paper takes a deep dive into this question with some unexpected results, including a link to cancer… (1/)
