The functional repertoire of intratumoral microorganisms and their local effects on the host remain poorly characterized. By revealing potentially immunogenic bacterial peptides on melanoma cells, a Nature paper provides evidence that intratumoral bacteria can directly modulate antitumor immune responses, and it details a new class of therapeutically relevant, non-human tumor antigens.
肿瘤内微生物的功能谱及其对宿主的局部影响仍知之甚少。通过揭示黑色素瘤细胞上潜在的免疫原性细菌肽,一篇《自然》杂志的论文提供了证据,表明肿瘤内细菌可以直接调节抗肿瘤免疫反应,并且详细介绍了一类新的具有治疗意义的非人类肿瘤抗原。
