IV or SubQ
alpha granules (plts) releases
fibrinigon
factor 5

syncytium
a multinucleated cell that can result from multiple cell fusions of uninuclear cells

CTLA-4 and PD1 are notable for?
Checkpoint inhibitors.
Downregute cytotoxic activity
Tumor Associated Antigen
Antigens not normally found on normal cells (possibly by over expression alone)
Tumor specific antigen
Caused by tumor mutation, making no two tumors exactly alike (if present)
Carcinoembrryonic Antigen
Found in colon cancer often
Oncofetal gene
Differentiation Antigens
Most frequently IDd TAA. OVER EXPRESSED TUMOR PROTEIN
Ex
Her 2.
Colon antigen
Expressed uniquely on malignant clone.
Ex:
Surface B cell markers
CTL Cells
CD8, sees MHC 1
Secret IFNgama–> attracts macs
Th1 cells
CD4 cell
Attracts M1s
Helps activate CTL
M2 and tumors
Tumors seem to be protected by M2
Natural killer cells
Large Lymphocyte
If MHC 1 decreases (like in tumors) then NKs increase
Do antibodies help in the fight against tumors?
Not so much.
