Checkpoint kinase 1/2 inhibition potentiates anti-tumoral immune response and sensitizes gliomas to immune checkpoint blockade

Immunotherapies have shown limited efficacy in patients with glioma. Here, based on an in vivo kinome knockout CRISPR screen, the authors show that checkpoint kinase 2 promotes CD8 T cell immune evasion and that its depletion or inhibition improve survival and response to PD1/PDL1 blockade in precli...
