5 Questions
The study of the antigens associated with tumors; the immune response to tumors; the tumor's effect on the host's immune status use of the immune system to help eradicate the tumor
TUMOR IMMUNOLOGY
Regulated processes designed to rapidly produce new cells when necessary, inhibit cell division when sufficient cells are present, and limit cell life span (programmed cell death, or apoptosis) Genes necessary for the production of cancer cells:
NORMAL CELL GROWTH AND DIVISION
Regulatory genes that promote cell division or cell growth when there is a damage in a certain area of the body; If there are alterations or mutations in these genes, it would become oncogenes. Oncogenes- responsible for the production of cancer cells
Proto-oncogenes
Growth-inhibitory signals (halts or stops the production of cells); if these tumor suppressor genes are altered or mutated, there would be.
Tumor suppressor genes
