Abstract
Why human tumors grow infiltrated by specific antitumor T cells has been a mystery attributed to negative factors released directly by the tumor or indirectly through immune intermediaries. The frequency and phenotype of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the peripheral blood of melanoma patients and healthy donors are surprisingly similar. Clin Cancer Res; 18(19); 5157–9. ©2012 AACR.
