Research progress in relationship between microbes and tumor immunity / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Microbes are closely associated with tumor development. The interactions between mi-crobes and immune system contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. This review focused on the inter-actions between microbes and immune cells (macrophages, T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells and other immune cells) in the course of tumor growth, and summarized the roles of microbes in tumor immuno-therapies, aiming to improve the overall understanding of the mechanisms for microbes affecting tumors, and provide ideas for tumor prevention and future immunotherapies.
