So-called ‘cold’ and ‘excluded’ tumors are poorly infiltrated by immune cells including APCs and their precursors at baseline, implying that the likelihood for dying cancer cells and their corpses to be productively processed and drive cross-priming is reduced.223 224 Priming is also limited by coinhibitory receptors expressed by tumor-infiltrating T cells including CTL-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) and hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2, best known as TIM-3), a glycoprotein that binds to HMGB1 as well as the ‘eat me’ signal phosphatidylserine on the surface of dying cells.152 225. The gene discussed is HAVCR2; the disease is neoplasm.
