A new checkpoint protein that hampers natural killer (NK) cell-mediated tumor immunity was recently discovered by Australian researchers. Results from the study shows that depleting this protein in mice makes them resistant to a lot of solid cancers by turning on NK cell activity. This study, “CIS is a potent checkpoint in NK cell mediated […]
