The double-edged sword: Harnessing PD-1 blockade in tumor and autoimmunity

JR Kuchroo, DA Hafler, AH Sharpe, LE Lucca - Science Immunology, 2021 - science.org
Immune checkpoint blockade has demonstrated success in treating cancer but can lead to
immune-related adverse events (irAEs), illustrating the centrality of these pathways in …

A multiple sclerosis–protective coding variant reveals an essential role for HDAC7 in regulatory T cells

PP Axisa, TM Yoshida, LE Lucca, HG Kasler… - Science Translational …, 2022 - science.org
Genome-wide association studies identifying hundreds of susceptibility loci for autoimmune
diseases indicate that genes active in immune cells predominantly mediate risk. However, …

TCR-sequencing in cancer and autoimmunity: barcodes and beyond

KE Pauken, KA Lagattuta, BY Lu, LE Lucca… - Trends in …, 2022 - cell.com
The T cell receptor (TCR) endows T cells with antigen specificity and is central to nearly all
aspects of T cell function. Each naïve T cell has a unique TCR sequence that is stably …
