Abstract excerpt
To analyze the mechanisms by which cancer cells escape from hosts' immune surveillance, we investigated the changes in immune status during the progression of leukemia induced by injecting mice with WEHI-3B cells. In the bone marrow (BM) of leukemic mice, only DX5(+)CD3(-) cells were continuously increased, despite the progression of leukemia. In addition, DX5(+)CD3(-) cells were rapidly increased in peripheral...
