Loss of the HVEM Tumor Suppressor in Lymphoma and Restoration by Modified CAR-T Cells

Elisa Oricchio

The HVEM (TNFRSF14) receptor gene is among the most frequently mutated genes in germinal center lymphomas. We report that loss of HVEM leads to cell-autonomous activation of B cell proliferation and drives the development of GC lymphomas in vivo. HVEM-defi ...
