LTbR emerging as an important TAM checkpoint

Levels of LTbR (Lymphotoxin beta Recpeptor) on TAM (Tumor Associated Macrophage) inversely correlate with anti-tumor response, indicating an immunosuppresive role. This Chinese research group demonstrate that disrupting this expression in mice by silencing or knockout causes tumor regression in a mouse lung carcinoma model.
