Immune Cell Subsets Direct or Antagonize Tumor Immunity: Promotion of TH1 Responses in Tumor Vaccination

Tumors evade immune system tumor-controlling functions. T cells critical to antitumor immunity are tolerogenic in tumor-burdened animals, and fail to lyse neoplastic cells. Our goal was to investigate the kinetics of immune dysfunction related to tumor-burdened host (TBH) memory T cell responses (o...
