Abstract
Mechanisms of the tumor cells to avoid the immune attack. Tumor cells produce or sequester several metabolites to prevent the immune recognition: aminoacids (tryptophan, l-arginine and peroxynitrite (PNT)), lipid metabolism (cholesterol and oxysterol) and lactate. Also tumor metabolism downregulates the expression of MHC-I, which helps tumor cells to avoid recognition by CTLs.
