  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Phages and cancer immunity</jats:title> <jats:p> Gut bacteria are involved in the education of T cell immune responses, and the intestinal ecosystem influences anticancer immunity. Fluckiger <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> report microbial antigens that might cross-react with antigens associated with tumor cells. They found that a type of intestinal bacteria called enterococci harbor a bacteriophage that modulates immune responses. In mouse models, administration of enterococci containing the bacteriophage boosted T cell responses after treatment with chemotherapy or programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade. In humans, the presence of the bacteriophage was associated with improved survival after PD-1 immunotherapy. A fraction of human T cells specific for naturally processed melanoma epitopes appeared to be able to recognize microbial peptides. This “molecular mimicry” may represent cross-reactivity between tumors and microbial antigens. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6506" page="936" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="369" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aax0701">936</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
