BATF is a major driver of NK cell epigenetic reprogramming and dysfunction in AML[CUT&RUN]
We identified BATF as a core transcription factor and the main mediator of this NK cell dysfunction in AML. our findings reveal a previously unidentified mechanism of NK immune evasion in AML manifested by epigenetic rewiring and inactivation of NK cells by myeloid blasts.? This work highlights the importance of using healthy allogeneic  NK cells as adoptive cell therapy to treat patients with myeloid malignancies combined with strategies aimed at preventing the dysfunction by targeting the TGF-b pathway or BATF Overall design: Libraries were sequenced using Illumina NextSeq 500 system to obtain 75bp paired end reads per sample.  Samples- 1 NKCells fromPB1 untreated 2. NKCells fromPB1 TGFb1 treated 1 NKCells  fromPB2 untreated 4. NKCells fromPB2 TGFb1 treated,  these samples were Cut and run for abs - BATF (CST), and IgG( millipore)
