The association of tumor-induced changes in macrophage phenotype with immunosuppressive functions

During tumor growth there are a series of phenotypic and functional changes that occur in macrophages (M<sub>Φ</sub>) that ultimately lead to the immunosuppression of the tumor-bearing host (TBH). To investigate the phenotypic changes of M<sub>Φ</sub> during tumor growth, we...
