Cancer immunotherapy utilizing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) has demonstrated significant promise in clinical applications, but cancer immunosuppressive mechanisms hamper further progress in T cell immunotherapy. Here we show a correlation between cancer cell mitochondria content and their resis...
Background: The objective response rate of anti-programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains limited. The tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a key bottleneck. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compo...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...
