Loss of MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 enables potent dendritic cell-driven anti-tumour T cell response

Abstract Maintaining dendritic cells (DC) in a state of dysfunction represents a key mechanism by which tumour cells evade recognition and elimination by the immune system. Limited knowledge about the intracellular mediators of DC dysfunction restricts success of therapies aimed at reactivating a DC...
