Abstract excerpt
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells critical in mediating immune suppression in cancer patients. To develop an in vitro assay system that functionally mimics the tumor microenvironment, we cultured human monocytes with conditioned media from several cancer cell lines. Conditioned media from five tumor cell lines induced survival and differentiation of monocytes into cells...
