%0 Journal Article %T The role of the microenvironment in tumor immune surveillance %A Oluwadayo Oluwadara %A Luca Giacomelli %A Xenia Brant %A Russell Christensen4 %J Bioinformation %D 2011 %I %X The evidence appears compelling that the microenvironment, and associated biological cellular and molecular factors, may contribute to the progression of a variety of tumors. The effects of the microenvironment may directly influence the plasticity of T cell lineages, which was recently discussed (O¡¯Shea & Paul, 2010 ). To review the putative role of the microenvironment in modulating the commitment of tumor immune surveillance, we use the model of oral premalignant lesions. %K Oral lichen planus %K oral squamous cell carcinoma %K proteomic voting %K tumor microenvironment %K T cell lineages %K tumor immune surveillance %U http://www.bioinformation.net/005/006400052011.htm
