Regulation of Tumor Immunity by Regulatory CD8+ T cells Previously, we have demonstrated the important role of KIR+CD8+ regulatory T cells in maintenance of peripheral tolerance by suppressing autoreactive T cells. Since a large fraction of tumor antigens is derived from the self, we are curious whether the regulatory functions of KIR+CD8+ T cells extend to anti-tumor immunity. We will leverage cutting-edge technologies, mouse cancer models and patient-derived specimens to understand the role of KIR+/Ly49+CD8+ Tregs in regulating anti-tumor immunity and how their differentiation or functions are regulated by the tumor microenvironment.
