Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Past proof in mice has exhibited that NK cell-inferred IFN-gamma can advance immunoevasion by chiselling the immunogenicity of creating tumours in a process known as cancer immunoediting. This process includes the disposal of the high immunogenic unedited tumour, followed by the inevitable break of less immunogenic altered tumour cell variants […]
