@drjonlim.bsky.social & @reisesousalab.bsky.social show cDC1s & DNGR1 favor "tethered" neoantigens from F-actin proteins, trapping them in necrotic debris for better cross-presentation! Calls for prioritizing these neoantigens for cancer vaccine design #Immunotherapy www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Cross-presentation of dead cell-associated antigens shapes the neoantigenic landscape of tumor immunity - Nature Immunology
Here the authors show DNGR-1 expressed by cDC1s promotes CD8⁺ T cell priming to cytoskeletal neoantigens from dying tumor cells, thereby shaping cancer immune visibility and tumor evolution through im...

My main PhD paper is finally out! 🎉
After ~5 years, it’s published today in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺.
@natimmunol.nature.com
It all started with an unexpected observation 🔍:
👉 Mice lacking the dendritic cell receptor DNGR-1 developed tumours earlier ⏩ and more frequently 📈 than wild-type mice.

Today, we see the fruit of 5+ years of teamwork. We have built a map of the neutrophil compartment (mostly in mice - but also humans). It provides a biological structure that focuses on a single immune cell lineage to discover the many ways in which neutrophils "interpret" physiology.
