Mechanisms of action of the antigen presenting cells that impair lymphoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes

Our immune systems are continually fighting cancer. However, the cancer cells occasionally acquire mutations that enable them to subvert the immune system. Usually they do this by hiding under the appearance of normal tissue, but sometimes they activate the very mechanisms that are in place to shut-down immune responses when these are no longer necessary. The goal of this proposal is to identify such mechanisms and find ways of bypassing them, thus restoring anti-tumour activity in patients.
