Abstract
Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO; IDO1) is expressed in > FoxP3+). Since IDO is canonically characterized as a rate-limiting enzyme that metabolizes the essential amino acid, tryptophan (Trp), into kynurenine (Kyn), the depletion of Trp and/or accumulation of Kyn has been the presumed mechanism of how IDO suppresses the anti-GBM immune response. However, our work has challenged this hypothesis, and here we provide a comprehensive update of IDO effects in adults with GBM.
