induced by TLR signal
CD28
Activated

7. Resaech Interests
● Use human-to-mouse model
● Tumor-specific CD8 T cells against melanoma tumors in
the brain

8. T cell can be exhausted recepting
cytokine for long time…
Inhibit signaling pathway of tumor
cells not to release cytokine.
T cell can attack tumor cells!
