Why human anti-CTLA-4 antibodies do not deplete intratumoral Tregs ?

We show that FcyRIIB acts as a checkpoint restricting the Fc-dependent activity of human anti-CTLA-4 and other Treg-targeting antibodies in tumor.

Our latest pre-print showing that the class III PI3K VPS34 is essential for Treg function. Lack of VPS34 specifically in Treg lead to a lethal scurfy-like phenotype. VPS34 plays a role in endocytosis and autophagy, both of which are important for Treg function and homeostasis.

Exciting line-up for the 2024 BSI Midlands Immunology Group event this summer! 🤓

Congratulations Sarah. One question (for maybe evolutionary biologists) - did Il10 emerge in evolution before Foxp3 or are we looking at the concept of layered tolerance?

Looking forward to this event!

I have a fully funded PhD available (UK only). In this PhD (co-supervised Dr Fraser Cummings and Dr David Layfield), we will use donated human lymph nodes to compare mouse and human T cell responses to inflammation. Please share to interested MSc students!
