The pancreatic cancer microenvironment: an immunologic battleground

Recent studies of human pancreatic cancer challenge the mouse model-derived notion that the pancreas is a site of immune privilege. A heavy infiltration of CD8(+) T cells expressing programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and smaller numbers of myeloid cells and regulatory T cells provides rationale for the...

description Recent studies of human pancreatic cancer challenge the mouse model-derived notion that the pancreas is a site of immune privilege. A heavy infiltration of CD8(+) T cells expressing programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and smaller numbers of myeloid cells and regulatory T cells provides rationale for the clinical evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibition as a pancreatic cancer therapeutic strategy.
