Blocking Cancer Antioxidant Protein May Help Immunotherapy Work Better

A team of researchers have discovered a new method by which cancer cells evade the immune system. If further studies confirm their findings, this might cause another approach for optimizing cancer immunotherapy. Scientists from the University of Cambridge and Oregon Health & Science University have shown that tumors secrete an antioxidant protein, peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1), which inhibits T cells capable…
