Targeting endosomal trafficking-mediated antigen escape to resensitize myeloma to CAR-T therapy

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Antigen escape is one of the leading causes of relapse following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy, particularly in multiple myeloma. A critical gap persists in understanding the tumor-intrinsic pathways that trigger antigen loss, insight essential for devising strategies to resensitize tumors to immune attack. We identify a previously uncharacterized post-translational mechanism centered on the metabolic enzyme ribonucleotide reductase subunit…
