The adaptive immune system is a major driver of selection for tumor suppressor gene inactivation

Abstract excerpt

Defining tumor cell immune evasion Mouse models used to study cancer often lack a full immune system, allowing implantation of human tumors into the mice. By contrast, naturally evolving tumors must contend with a fully functional immune system and its destruction of some of the cells (see the Perspective by Ho and Wood). Two groups now report studies on mouse models with a fully intact immune system. Martin et...
