The immunosuppressive action of regulatory T (T reg) cells is one mechanism attributed to
the limited success of cancer immunotherapies with checkpoint blockers. Two recent studies
report distinct transcriptional profiles of tumor-infiltrating T reg cells and expression of
specific molecules, suggesting novel strategies to overcome resistance to cancer
immunotherapy.
