Lactate and the Immune response. Lactate in the tumor microenvironment impairs immune surveillance by blocking natural killer (NK) cells and tumor infiltrating T cells. Lactate-rich milieu promotes Treg cell survival and their immunosuppressive function. Moreover Lactate stimulates the M2 pro-tumoral polarization in macrophages and activates mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
