Journal Article
Elkord, E. (2007). Immunology and immunotherapy approaches for prostate cancer. Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, 10(3), 224-236. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.pcan.4500964

Several mechanisms that impair the immune response to promote tumour progression are reported. These mechanisms aim to reduce the ability of antigen-presenting cells to present antigen and activate naïve T cells to support an active immune response o...
