In Vivo Genome-Wide CRISPR Screens Identify SOCS1 as Intrinsic Checkpoint of CD4+ TH1 Cell Response
[Science Immunology] Researchers showed that SOCS1 was a critical node integrating both IL-2 and IFN-γ signals to block multiple downstream signaling pathways abrogating CD4+ T helper 1 (TH1) cell response.
