For a long time, the transcription factor interferon-regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) has been recognized as a masterpiece for the development of myeloid cells, and its role as a central regulator of immune responses has now been clarified. IRF8 is also critical for tumor progression, suggesting its fundamental relevance in multiple aspects of cancer immunosurveillance.
长期以来,转录因子干扰素调节因子8(IRF8)一直被认为是髓系细胞发育的关键因子,如今其作为免疫反应核心调节因子的作用已得到阐明。IRF8对肿瘤进展也至关重要,这表明它在癌症免疫监视的多个方面具有根本相关性。
