Abstract

BCL2 robustly preserves mitochondrial integrity, hence inhibiting innate immune signaling and apoptotic cell death in several cell types. Here, we comment on our recent data demonstrating that BCL2 also limits the ability of dendritic cells to elicit adaptive immune responses, lending support to a universal immunosuppressive function for the mitochondrial immune checkpoint.
