Scientists at Imperial College London have discovered a new protein that plays a critical role in promoting immunity to viruses and cancer, opening the door to new therapies. Experiments in mice and human cells have shown that the protein promotes the proliferation of cytotoxic T cells, which kills cancer cells and cells infected with viruses. "Cancer cells have ways to suppress T cell activity, helping them to escape the immune system," said Dr. Philip ...Sunday 19 April 2015
