Really great to have our collaborative study with @Hepworth_Lab and @ClatworthyLab now published. In this study we developed our dynamic labelling of lymphoid tissue (Dutton et al., Sci Immunol. 2019) to now visualise immune cell migration into and out of tumours. 1/8

Relocating the lab to the Oxford Centre for Immuno-oncology going really well. Such a great research environment. We have new positions available, including this post-doc position: jobs.ac.uk/job/DHZ362/postdo…
New address is: david.withers@immonc.ox.ac.uk - email to find out more

Key finding #3: Administration of IL15/IL-15ra caused distinct NK tumour resident state that maintained effector functions and appeared to enhance tumour control (Fig 6).
Many thanks to all involved, particularly @IWD_Sci, @ColinYCLee, @ClatworthyLab

Key finding #2: Validation of transcriptomic changes confirmed really rapid changes in NK cells after tumour entry: upregulation of distinct integrins (e.g. CD49a) and loss of key effector functions (e.g. production of CCL5, IFNg) occurs after only 24hrs. See Fig 2/3.

Key finding #1: Using a combination of photoconversion and scRNA-seq, we show that conventional NK cells rapidly adapt their transcriptome following entry into the tumour, establishing a distinct tumour-retained/resident state in only 48-72 hrs. See Fig 1.

Building on the approaches published last year (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3547…), here we have interrogated what happens to NK cells after tumor entry and for the first time provide a real-time map of their progression to a dysfunctional state.

We are thrilled to announce the speaker of our next i3 @DKFZ seminar: on November 14th at 4 pm we'll have the honour to host Prof. David Withers from @unibirmingham who will talk about a novel strategy to track changes in TIL function upon migration into tumors. Save the date! 🗓️

Collectively, our data reveal new insight into the dynamic nature of different CD8 T cell subsets within tumours. Huge thanks to all collaborators and funders of this project @wellcometrust @CancerResearch @WorldwideCancer @AstraZeneca 8/8
