    inhibiting donor-derived GzmB function may represent a promising strategy to improve GVT effect without exacerbating graft-versus-host disease
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • internalized killer cells from GzmB-deficient mice underwent a typical non-apoptotic entotic cell-in-cell death similar to that of non-cytotoxic immune cells or tumor cells
