Department of Infection and Host Defenses, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University, Toon, Japan.
The antitumor activity of activated CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment seems to be limited due to their being metabolically unfit. This metabolic unfitness is closely associated with T-cell exhaustion and impairment of memory formation, which are barriers to successful antitumor adoptive immunotherapy. We therefore assessed the role of glutamine metabolism in the antitumor activity of CD8 T cells using a tumor-inoculated mouse model.
