Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Established an upstream enhancer knockout (UpEnh KO) strain using CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing to dissect Pdcd-1 regulation in T cells. • UpEnh deletion reduced PD-1 expression across multiple T cell subsets, including thymocytes, peripheral naïve Treg, and γδ T cells, as well as tumor-infiltrating exhausted CD8+, CD4+ Tconv, Treg, and γδ T cells. • Loss of UpEnh from the Pdcd-1 locus improved CD8+ T cell exhaustion state, boosted γδ T cell activity, and promoted more robust anti-tumor responses.
