Robust IL-2-dependent antitumor immunotherapy requires targeting the high-affinity IL-2R on tumor-specific CD8+ T cells
Introduction Interleukin (IL)-2 was the first Food and Drug Administration approved immunotherapy for use in patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.1 2 However, the use of recombinant IL-2 (Proleukin/aldesleukin) has been problematic due to low response rates, off-target effects, and severe dose-dependent toxicities. Due to its potent T-cell…
Adipocyte-Specific ATAC-Seq with Adipose Tissues Using Fluorescence-Activated Nucleus Sorting
We present a protocol for assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) specifically on adipocytes using nucleus sorting with adipose tissues isolated from transgenic reporter mice with nuclear fluorescence labeling. ATAC-seq is a powerful technique to understand gene expression regulatory mechanisms. However, adipose tissue is difficult using this technique…
