Immunogenic stress and death of cancer cells: Contribution of antigenicity vs adjuvanticity to immunosurveillance
13 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Summary Cancer cells are subjected to constant selection by the immune system, meaning that tumors that become clinically manifest have managed to subvert or hide from immunosurveillance. Immune control can be facilitated by induction of autophagy, as well as by polyploidization of cancer cells. While autophagy causes the release of ATP, a chemotactic signal for myeloid cells, polyploidization can trigger...
