Cancer-associated fibroblasts induce antigen-specific deletion of CD8 + T Cells to protect tumour cells

Tumours employ a variety of strategies to induce immune suppression. Here the authors show that cancer-associated fibroblasts process and cross-present tumour-antigens to T-cells resulting in antigen-specific T cell death and dysfunction via upregulation of both cell death and immune checkpoint sign...
