About this document
Tumor Immune Escape Mechanisms Explained by Kala King is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tumor cells can escape detection by the immune system through several mechanisms: 1) Antigenic modulation - the alteration or loss of antigenic determinants on the surface of tumor cells following interaction with antibodies. 2) Expression of immunosuppressive factors - tumor cells express cytokines like TGF-β and IL-10 which suppress the immune response. 3) Induction of tolerance - mechanisms like anergy, immune deviation, and regulatory T cells prevent an effective anti-tumor immune response.
