Unlike conventional MHC-reactive T cells, unconventional T cells have emerged as an abundant component of the human immune system because of their role in tumor immunology. In this issue of , Hundeyin and colleagues have identified a population of unconventional T cells in pancreatic tumors that can reprogram the immune evasive components of the tumor to promote immunogenicity and thus are critical for the development of novel cell-based therapy in pancreatic cancer..
与传统的 MHC 反应性 T 细胞不同,由于其在肿瘤免疫学中的作用,非传统 T 细胞已成为人体免疫系统的丰富组成部分。在本期的 中,Hundeyin 及其同事在胰腺肿瘤中鉴定出了一类非传统 T 细胞,它们可以重新编程肿瘤的免疫逃避成分,以促进免疫原性,因此对于开发胰腺癌的新型基于细胞的治疗方法至关重要。
