Immunotherapy safety: what have we learned from surveillance surveys?

abstract：:The activation of a T cell through T cell receptor (TCR) is fundamental to adaptive immune responses. The lymphocyte specific kinase (LCK) plays a central role in the initiation of signaling from the TCR. TCR activates LCK through the adaptor protein uncoordinated 119 (UNC119). A mutation of human UNC119 impairs LCK a...
