Twisted: Escape of epitope-edited healthy cells from immune attack

J Exp Med. 2023 Dec 4;220(12):e20231635. doi: 10.1084/jem.20231635. Epub 2023 Oct 11.

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell-derived neoplasia is challenging to target by cell surface-directed immunotherapy due to lack of tumor cell-specific antigen identification. Marone et al. (2023. J. Exp. Med.https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20231235) provide a solution by target-epitope resistance editing in healthy hematopoietic stem cells.
