Inhibitory effect of tumor cell–derived lactic acid on human T cells

K Fischer, P Hoffmann, S Voelkl, N Meidenbauer… - Blood, 2007 - ashpublications.org

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and autophagy induction in breast carcinoma promote escape from T-cell–mediated lysis

I Akalay, B Janji, M Hasmim, MZ Noman, F André… - Cancer research, 2013 - AACR
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mediates cancer cell invasion, metastasis, and

established tumors. The characteristics of tumors that allow them to evade a T cell‐mediated …

Effector function of human tumor-specific CD8 T cells in melanoma lesions: a state of local functional tolerance

A Zippelius, P Batard, V Rubio-Godoy, G Bioley… - Cancer research, 2004 - AACR
