[PDF][PDF] Lineage tracing reveals clonal progenitors and long-term persistence of tumor-specific T cells during immune checkpoint blockade

JA Pai, MD Hellmann, JL Sauter, M Mattar, H Rizvi… - Cancer Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Paired single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing (scRNA/TCR-seq) has allowed for
enhanced resolution of clonal T cell dynamics in cancer. Here, we report a scRNA/TCR-seq …

Localization, tissue biology and T cell state—Implications for cancer immunotherapy

JM Schenkel, KE Pauken - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2023 - nature.com
Tissue localization is a critical determinant of T cell immunity. CD8+ T cells are contact-
dependent killers, which requires them to physically be within the tissue of interest to kill …

Defining and using immune archetypes to classify and treat cancer

AJ Combes, B Samad, MF Krummel - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2023 - nature.com
Tumours are surrounded by a host immune system that can suppress or promote tumour
growth. The tumour microenvironment (TME) has often been framed as a singular entity …
