Chronic lymphocytic leukemia T cells show impaired immunological synapse formation that can be reversed with an immunomodulating drug

TL;DR: Impaired actin polymerization results in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia exhibiting defective immunological synapse formation with APCs is demonstrated and repair of immune synapse defects is identified as an essential step in improving cancer immunotherapy approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eμ-TCL1 mice represent a model for immunotherapeutic reversal of chronic lymphocytic leukemia-induced T-cell dysfunction

TL;DR: The utility of this animal model of CLL is demonstrated and it is defined as a versatile model to investigate both the molecular mechanisms of cancer-induced immune suppression and immunotherapeutic repair strategies.
