Lucas Blanchard, MS, CNRS-IPBS, Toulouse, France, discusses the role of high endothelial venules (HEVs) mediate lymphocyte trafficking during anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy. HEVs are a specialized form of blood vessels and lymph node HEVs have found to induce generation of stem-like CD8+ T cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes, whereas tumor-associated HEVs facilitate entry of peripheral stem-like CD8+ T cells into the tumor. This interview took place at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy in Cancer (SITC 2022) in Boston, MA.
