Tumoral immune resistance can be reversed by inhibiting tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). The inhibition of TDO leads to the restoration of antitumor immune responses, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for overcoming immune resistance in cancer.

Tryptophan 2,3 Dioxygenase (TDO) is a key enzyme in Tryptophan metabolism, initiating the kynurenine pathway (KP). This pathway primarily moderates the production of neuroactive compounds outside the central nervous system (CNS).
