Abstract excerpt
Tumors pose a unique challenge to the immune system since they straddle the boundary between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’. T-cells recognize tumors that contain ‘non-self’ neo-antigens. They can also recognize tumors that contain aberrantly expressed self-antigens, highlighting the importance of the central tolerance and the tuning of the T-cell repertoire in the thymus.
