A novel prognostic biomarker LCP2 correlates with metastatic melanoma-infiltrating CD8+ T cells

Abstract Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2 (LCP2) is one of the SLP-76 family of adapters, which are critical intermediates in signal cascades downstream of several receptors. LCP2 regulates immunoreceptor signaling (such as T-cell receptors) and is also required for integrin signaling in neutrophils a...
