Tumor cells escape immunosurveillance by hampering LFA-1 by Shishir Upadhyay, Lewis Murugu, Lena Svensson, Lena Svensson

“…However, tumors can develop mechanisms to evade immune clearance by disrupting LFA-1 functions or hijacking its pathways. In this review, we first detail how leukocytes utilize LFA-1 during immunosurveillance and then explore how tumors counteract this process in the tumor microenvironment (TME) by either altering LFA-1 functions or exploiting it to drive tumorigenesis. …”
