CD8+ T cell metabolic flexibility elicited by CD28-ARS2 axis-driven alternative splicing of PKM supports antitumor immunity
We sought to understand the molecular basis underlying the metabolic flexibility of activated CD8+ T cells, with particular focus on the Cap-Binding Complex adaptor protein ARS2. In doing so, we uncovered a novel link between CD28 costimulation, ARS2, alternative splicing, and anti-tumor immunity.
