OX40 triggering blocks suppression by regulatory T cells and facilitates tumor rejection

Regulatory T (T reg) cells are the major obstacle to cancer immunotherapy, and their depletion promptly induces conversion of peripheral precursors into T reg cells. We show that T reg cells can be functionally inactivated by OX40 triggering. In tumors, the vast majority of CD4(+) T cells are Foxp3(...
