Lag-3, Tim-3, and TIGIT: Co-inhibitory Receptors with Specialized Functions in Immune Regulation

TLDR
Co-inhibitory receptors, such as CTLA-4 and PD-1, have an important role in regulating T cell responses and have proven to be effective targets in the setting of chronic diseases where constitutive co- inhibitory receptor expression on T cells dampens effector T-cell responses.

Determining cell type abundance and expression from bulk tissues with digital cytometry.

TL;DR: The utility of CIBERSORTx is evaluated in multiple tumor types, including melanoma, where single-cell reference profiles were used to dissect bulk clinical specimens, revealing cell-type-specific phenotypic states linked to distinct driver mutations and response to immune checkpoint blockade.

The interaction of TIGIT with PVR and PVRL2 inhibits human NK cell cytotoxicity

TL;DR: It is shown that TIGIT is expressed by all human NK cells, that it binds PVR and PVRL2 but not PVRL3 and that it inhibits NK cytotoxicity directly through its ITIM, providing an “alternative self” mechanism for MHC class I inhibition.
