Antigen Presentation Keeps Trending in Immunotherapy Resistance

Clin Cancer Res. 2018 Jul 15;24(14):3239-3241. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-18-0698. Epub 2018 Apr 19.

Abstract

Through a gain-of-function kinome screen, MEX3B was identified as a mediator of resistance to T-cell immunotherapy not previously identified using CRISPR-based screens. MEX3B is a posttranscriptional regulator of HLA-A, validating the critical role of tumor-intrinsic antigen presentation in T-cell immunotherapy and indicating a new putative molecular target.
