TREM1 activation of myeloid cells promotes antitumor immunity.

Myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) can exist in immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory states that impede or promote antitumor immunity, respectively. Blocking suppressive myeloid cells or increasing stimulatory cells to enhance antitumor immune responses is an area of interest for therapeutic intervention. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM1) is a proinflammatory receptor that amplifies immune responses.
