Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the tumor microenvironment, tumor cells are able to suppress antitumor immunity by competing for essential nutrients, including amino acids. However, whether amino acid depletion modulates the activity of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is unclear. METHOD: In this study, we evaluated the roles of amino acids and the Rag complex in regulating mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1...
