Tumor-targeted silencing of the peptide transporter TAP induces potent antitumor immunity
Abstract
The anti-tumour immune response greatly depends on the number of tumour neoantigens. Here the authors show in mouse models that a therapeutic strategy aimed at increasing the number of neoantigens via downregulating TAP, an antigen processing associated protein, enhances anti-tumour immunity and the efficacy of immunotherapy.
