Restricting tumor lactic acid metabolism using dichloroacetate improves T cell functions

Abstract Background Lactic acid produced by tumors has been shown to overcome immune surveillance, by suppressing the activation and function of T cells in the tumor microenvironment. The strategies employed to impair tumor cell glycolysis could improve immunosurveillance and tumor growth regulation...
