1005-Activated T Cell Vesicles Boost Antigen Presentation
This research identifies a novel communication pathway where activated T cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ATEVs) enhance the body’s ability to recognize and destroy tumors. These vesicles carry double-stranded genomic DNA enriched with immune-related genes, which they deliver directly into the nuclei of dendritic and cancer cells. This transfer is facilitated by granzyme B, a protein within the vesicles that temporarily disrupts the recipient cell's nuclear envelope to allow for transient gene expression. By restoring and boosting antigen processing and presentation, ATEVs significantly…
