This is a type of treatment resistance known as "immune escape." "As immunotherapies are now the first-line treatment for HCC and other cancers, it's important to better understand the mechanisms ...

The virus often mutates by simply deleting small pieces of its genetic code. The mutations "disguise" the virus from antibodies.

A new study from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has shown that an RNA-based neoantigen vaccine can generate ...

Ebola’s Immune Escape The virus can persist in several tissues where the immune system is less active. Researchers are working to better understand this phenomenon and how it can stall the clearing of ...

Once the immune cells engulf the tumor, the toxin is released inside, becoming activated and creating pathways that allow tumor DNA and protein fragments, which are usually destroyed, to escape.

the escape occurred in more than 35 percent of the pDCs. This was a significant and unexpected difference. “The expression of ...

Once the immune cells engulf the tumor, the toxin is released inside, becoming activated and creating pathways that allow tumor DNA and protein fragments, which are usually destroyed, to escape.

Many of the cells in the innate immune system produce cytokines or interact with other cells directly to activate the adaptive immune system. In cancer cells, mutations can lead to expression of tumor ...
