Deletion of Cbl-b inhibits CD8+ T-cell exhaustion and promotes CAR T-cell function.

Our studies demonstrate that deficiency of Cbl-b overcomes endogenous CD8+ T-cell exhaustion, and deletion of Cbl-b in CAR T cells renders them resistant to exhaustion. Our results could facilitate the development of efficient CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors by targeting Cbl-b.
