Abstract
Type I interferon (IFN) production within the tumor microenvironment is important in shaping the immune response to the tumor. In this issue of Immunity, Marcus et al. (2018) reveal that tumor cells produce 2'3'-cGAMP, which activates the STING pathway in non-tumor cells and leads to type I IFN production and the priming of natural killer cells for tumor rejection.Entities:
