Abstract
CRISPR screens are widely utilized to identify genes that regulate immune function or mediate sensitivity of cancer cells to immune attack. In this issue of Immunity, Zeng et al. present a computational framework for uncovering gene targets with dual function in both cancer and immune cells and nominate TNFAIP3 as a synergistic target whose ablation strongly elicits an antitumor response.
期刊介绍:
Immunity is a publication that focuses on publishing significant advancements in research related to immunology. We encourage the submission of studies that offer groundbreaking immunological discoveries, whether at the molecular, cellular, or whole organism level. Topics of interest encompass a wide range, such as cancer, infectious diseases, neuroimmunology, autoimmune diseases, allergies, mucosal immunity, metabolic diseases, and homeostasis.
