Article Synopsis
  • TIGIT is an inhibitory receptor that competes with CD226 on immune cells, and targeting it may improve anti-tumor immunity, especially in exhausted CD8+ T cells and regulatory T cells.
  • Combining different types of anti-TIGIT antibodies (Fc-enabled and Fc-silent) with another treatment showed varied effects on tumors: Fc-enabled antibodies reduced regulatory T cell numbers, while Fc-silent antibodies did not deplete these cells but enhanced the activity of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells.
  • The study highlights that Fc-silent anti-TIGIT antibodies can drive antitumor responses by activating exhausted T cells without affecting regulatory T cells, indicating their potential for cancer therapy.

Instructor Talk-noncontent and nonlogistical language that is focused on shaping the classroom learning environment-is a recently defined variable that may play an important role in how undergraduates experience courses. Previous research characterized Instructor Talk used by faculty teaching in biology lecture classrooms. However, graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) and laboratory classrooms represent critical factors in undergraduate education, and Instructor Talk in this context has yet to be explored.
