A biomimetic assay platform for the interrogation of antigen-dependent anti-tumor T-cell function

Abstract

Jeremy To et al. develop an ultra-high-content assay platform used to interrogate T-cell-mediated killing of 3D multicellular tumor spheroids. They screen 1,800 annotated compounds to identify small molecules that enhance cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell activity in an antigen-dependent manner, demonstrating the utility of this assay platform.
