IL6R and neoplasm: Mechanistically, the proper ratio of Bcl-6 to T-bet in CD4+ T cells navigates their enhanced anti-tumor capacity, and a reciprocal IL6ra-Bcl-6 regulatory axis in a memory CD4+ T-cell subset, which requires MHCII signals from reprogrammed tumor cells, tumor-infiltrating and resident myeloid cells, is necessary for the prolonged response.
