Inhibition of KDEL receptors remodels the tumor microenvironment for robust T cell independent tumor regression

Shakti Prasad Pattanayak, Hong Wang, Belinda Willard…·Boaz Tirosh

The paper shows that inhibiting KDELR2 in tumor cells promotes tumor regression through innate immune activation, independent of T cells, and primes anti-tumor T cells for future challenges.
