Abstract excerpt
The role of innate immunity in natural resistance to tumor progression was investigated in two mouse lines, AIRmax and AIRmin, selected by bi-directional selective breeding on the basis of high or low acute inflammatory response. Compared with AIRmin, AIRmax mice were shown to be resistant to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)/12-O:-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced skin cancers and here we demonstrate...
