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

Screen Details:

Notes:
  • sgRNAs that are significantly depleted from tumours treated with the immunotherapy cancer vaccine GVAX relative to TCRalpha KO mice which lack CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and 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 GVAX
  • GVAX is a vaccine composed of whole tumor cells genetically modified to secrete the immune stimulatory cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and then irradiated to prevent further cell division to generate an adaptive immune response sufficient to apply immune-selective pressure on tumour cells
