Low-avidity T cells drive endogenous tumor immunity in mice and humans
9 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
T cells recognize neoepitope peptide-major histocompatibility complex class I on cancer cells. The strength (or avidity) of the T cell receptor–peptide-major histocompatibility complex class I interaction is a critical variable in immune control of cancers. Here, we analyze neoepitope-specific CD8 cells of distinct avidities and show that low-avidity T cells are the sole mediators of cancer control in mice and...
