What is it about?
We identified the major vault protein (MVP) as a key mediator between our immune system and bacterial communication - thereby advancing our understanding of how certain bacteria are able to aid our immune system to suppress tumor formation.

Why is it important?
This work provides a unique perspective into how the immune system senses and reacts to bacterial signaling molecules through MVP, and this interaction appears to result in a decreased ability of tumor cells to gain resistance against our immune system
