The devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) is a contagious cancer that has recently emerged among Tasmanian devils, rapidly decimating the population. We have recently discovered that DFTD cells lose the expression MHC molecules on the cell surface, explaining how this tumor avoids recognition by host CD8 T cells.
袋獾面部肿瘤疾病(DFTD)是一种传染性癌症,最近在袋獾中出现,迅速导致种群数量锐减。我们最近发现,DFTD细胞会丧失细胞表面MHC分子的表达,这就解释了这种肿瘤是如何逃避宿主CD8 T细胞识别的。
