Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) in which cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play pivotal roles in shaping therapeutic responses. Among these, MHC-II-expressing antigen-presenting CAFs (apCAFs) modulate CD4 T-cell activity, yet their contribution to the antitumor immune response remains unclear. Using tumor clones of the KPC murine...
