Sex determines the Natural Killer cell-mediated immunity against Pancreatic Cancer.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ranks among the most aggressive malignancies and exhibits a higher prevalence and poorer prognosis in male patients. Natural killer cells play a critical role in tumor immunosurveillance by directly recognizing and eliminating tumor cells. It is well established that females generally mount stronger immune responses than males. The present study aims to answer the question of whether sex has an influence on the NK cell-mediated anti-tumor function in PDAC. To validate our in vitro findings in a physiological context, we employed a syngeneic allograft mouse model.
