  • What is the importance of the immune surveilance regarding tumors?

    Without surveillance they would accumulate pretty quickly
  • What are the effector cells in tumor immunology?

    Cytotoxic T-cell (CD8)
  • What is the main action of the 'escape' phase in tumor development?

    induction of growth factors to block the immune response to the tumor.
  • Which cells of the adaptive immune system are involved in tumor immune surveilance?

    • Cytotoxic T cells (CD8)
    • B cells (physiologic relevance is yet unclear in mouse) 
  • What is the role of macrophages in tumor immunity?

    • attract other cells by cytokine release
    • promotion of tumor cells by m2 cells
  • What is the problem of macrophages diversities in interaction with tumors?

    Tumors can use m2 macrophages to induce growth factor production.
  • Which cells are generally called lymphotoxic cells?

    • NK
    • NK-T
    • gd T cells
    • T CD8
  • How do NK cells recognize a tumor?

    • if MHC-1 is downregulated, the NK cell is less inhibited by the MHC-1 and therefore promoted to activate the apoptis inducing receptor on the cell.
  • When does a T cell initiate apoptosis in cells?

    Once they recognize abberant protein expressions on the MHC-1 class.
  • What are the steps in immunosurveillance by NK or T cells?

    • interaction with cell induced by IL-2
    • Interaction with the MHC-1 class
    • if MHC-1 is down, activation of CD8
