Furthermore, this was accompanied by a trend towards increased expression of Tbx21 in tumour and Ifng in both tumour and spleen tissue of MK2ΔCD11c mice (Fig. 7a and Supplementary Fig. 6d), which suggests a more Th1-polarized T cell response upon deletion of MK2 in DCs that is consistent with our previous observations in the context of systemic inflammation and autoimmunity36. This evidence concerns the gene IFNG and neoplasm.
