Tumor neoantigens can be drained to the lymph nodes, but the nature and the significance of the induced immune responses are still unclear. Here the authors use a mouse genetic tumor model to show that tumor-specific CD4 T cells can become anergic or suppressive in the draining lymph node to modulate tumor immunity.
