Figure 1. Dedifferentiation of tumor cells leads to immune evasion.

Figure 1.

Diagram showing how dedifferentiation of tumor cells induces immune evasion through cell-autonomous mechanisms (e.g. loss of differentiation-associated antigens, decreased expression of antigen presentation molecules, and increased expression of immune suppressive molecules, such as PD-L1) and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms (e.g. expression of suppressive myeloid cells recruiting chemokines and growth factors).
