Tumor microenvironments

Taking the temperature of lung cancer antigens

Nature Cancer volume 4, pages 586–587 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Antigen presentation is fundamental to anti-tumor immunity, but our understanding of the physiological and molecular inputs to the process in different contexts remains limited. Two new studies explore the contribution of cell-intrinsic proteolytic mechanisms and cell-extrinsic hot and cold tumor microenvironments in shaping the antigenic landscape in lung cancer.

Fig. 1: The repertoire of antigens presented on the surface of malignant and non-malignant cells is shaped by ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ immune microenvironments.
