Induction of anergic or regulatory tumor-specific CD4+ T cells in the tumor-draining lymph node

Abstract

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.
