Title: In vivo CRISPR screening identifies Ptpn2 as a cancer immunotherapy target.

Screen Details:

Notes:
  • sgRNAs that are significantly depleted from tumours treated with immunotherapy ( GVAX + PD-1 blockade) relative to TCRalpha KO mice which are unable to apply adaptive immune-selective pressure on the tumours, indicate that loss of the targeted gene increased the sensitivity of tumour cells to immune attack
  • The immunotherapy consisted of animals injected with tumour cells being treated with a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-secreting, irradiated tumour cell vaccine (GVAX) combined with PD-1 blockade using a monoclonal antibody against PD-1 to generate an adaptive immune response sufficient to apply immune-selective pressure on the tumour cells
