Modulation of cancer-specific immune responses by amino acid degrading enzymes.

To evade immune destruction, tumours exploit a wide range of immune escape mechanisms, including the induction of an immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. This is mediated, in part, by amino acid-degrading enzymes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase, arginase 1 and arginase...
