2016, Journal of NeuroimmunologyCitation Excerpt :This phenotype indicates that the CD4 + T lymphocytes are more activated. However, a common mechanism to avoid recognition by the immune system is the downregulation of most MHCs, which appears to occur in the transformation to MPNST (Lee et al., 2006). It was reasonable to expect that the activation of pathways such as Ras would induce the production of inflammatory cytokines (Fuxe and Karlsson, 2012; Shin et al., 2012; Gunderson et al., 2013).

2015, Trends in GeneticsCitation Excerpt :Myelinating Schwann cells coat the axons of neurons to form the myelin sheath, participate in nerve repair, and modulate local immune reactions [33,34]. The original functional roles of these cells may have provided DFTs with the capacity to modulate immune reactions and evade immune responses [35,36]. This aspect of DFTD biology needs to be explored further.
