what does CAF stand for
carcinoma associated fibroblast
what does TAM stand for
tumor associated macrophage
are tumors homogenous populations of cells
no
cancer is a disease of —
tissues
normal cells form the —, the supportive connective tissue of the tumor
stroma
stromal cells are — in origin (cell type)
mesenchymal
many signalling processes seen in tumor progression also occur in — —-
wound healing
what does EMT stand for
epithelial to mesenchymal transition
what does MET stand for
mesenchymal to epithelial transition
— promote epithelial cells to move/metastasize
CAFs
—- recruits fibroblasts and macrophages which become CAFs and TAMs, form tumor stroma, and promote angiogenesis
PDGF
PDGF recruits — and — (immune cells)
fibroblasts and macrophages
fibroblasts and macrophages recruited by carcinoma PDGF become — and —
CAFs and TAMs
fibroblasts and macrophages recruited by carcinoma PDGF form the tumor —-
stroma
fibroblasts and macrophages recruited by carcinoma PDGF promote — (but leaky capillaries)
angiogenesis
true or false: an individual’s immune system is able to distinguish between the individual’s cells and foreign cells
true
true or false: an individual’s immune system is able to distinguish between the individual’s normal cells and the individual’s cancer cells
true
immune system cells can be “typed” by — markers
CD
what does CD markers stand for
cluster of differentiation markers
where are CD markers in the cell
they are cell surface proteins
which immunity? recognition of general molecular patterns or motifs in pathogens but absent from hosts, also damage or death associated molecules
innate
which immunity? highly specific, capable of distinguishing between molecules or regions of molecules that differ only slightly
adaptive
which immunity? many families with few members of highly conserved receptors
innate
which immunity? extremely diverse repertoires of T cell and B cell antigen receptors
adaptive
