What Are the Molecules Involved in Regulatory T-Cells Induction by Dendritic Cells in Cancer? by Rodrigo Nalio Ramos, Cristiano Jacob de Moraes, Bruna Zelante, José Alexandre M. Barbuto

“…In this setting, the induction of suppressive or regulatory T cells contributes to the establishment of a state of tolerance towards the tumor, allowing it to grow unchecked by an otherwise functional immune system. Besides affecting its local environment, tumor also has been described as potent sources of anti-inflammatory/suppressive factors, which may act systemically, generating defects in the differentiation and maturation of immune cells, far beyond the immediate vicinity of the tumor mass. …”
