Furthermore, this strategy also strongly activated the tumor microenvironment, including increasing antitumor effector cells (including M1-like macrophages and CD8+ Teffs) and decreasing protumor effector cells (including M2-like macrophages and CD4+ Tregs), and ultimately improved antitumor efficacy in a subcutaneous H22 tumor-bearing mouse model. The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is neoplasm.
