Abstract excerpt
The development of Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a complex process, resulting from interplay between mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressors, host susceptibility factors, and cellular context. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) plays important roles in downregulating the T-cell activation. Polymorphisms in the CTLA-4 gene have been shown to be associated with different autoimmune diseases and cancers. The...
