| Research Abstract |
We invstigated mainly mouse immunosuppressive macrophages and myeloid derived suppressor cells, as well as regulatory T cells on the induction of peripheral tolerance in cancer patient and cancer bearing mouse. By this project, we have published 8 English papers concerned about the effect of immunosuppressive macrophages on cancer microenvironment. Another 5 English papers are still under submission. Through this project, wecharacterized the further subtypes of immunosuppressive macrophages, and in future, by targeting these macrophages in cancer patients, further optimal therapy might be established.
