Amino acids and RagD potentiate mTORC1 activation in CD8+ T cells to confer antitumor immunity

Background In the tumor microenvironment, tumor cells are able to suppress antitumor immunity by competing for essential nutrients, including amino acids. However, whether amino acid depletion modulates the activity of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is unclear.Method In this study, we ev...
