“…CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene ablation of inhibitory receptors induced in dysfunctional T cellsstarting with PD1 -has recently been attempted in clinical trials (Stadtmauer et al, 2020). Lossof-function screens continue to nominate perturbations that can increase T cell fitness such as knockout (KO) of Regnase-1 (Wei et al, 2019), Roquin (Zhao et al, 2021a), Ptpn2 (LaFleur et al, 2019), SOCS1 (Sutra Del Galy et al, 2021) or RASA2 (Carnevale et al, 2022;Shifrut et al, 2018), in murine and/or human T cells. Third, large-scale gain-of-function screens using either CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) (Schmidt et al, 2022) or a lentiviral library of open reading frames (ORFs) have revealed promising perturbations such as overexpression of lymphotoxin B receptor (LTBR) (Legut et al, 2022).…”
