摘要
The strong allogeneic response to donor MHC molecules in transplantation and the weak response to tumor antigens represent two important and divergent but potentially interactive immune responses. A patient's response to allogeneic MHC molecules might promote an effective T-cell response to self MHC-restricted tumor peptides and the possibilities for this are discussed here. These allogeneic responses might successfully be harnessed to promote the immune eradication of metastatic cancer.
