Abstract
Mouse models for the study of cancer immunology provide excellent systems in which to test biological mechanisms of the immune response against cancer. Historically, these models have been designed to have different strengths based on the current major research questions at the time. As such, many mouse models of immunology used today were not originally developed to study questions currently plaguing the relatively new field of cancer immunology, but instead have been adapted for such purposes. In this review, we discuss various mouse model of cancer immunology in a historical context as a means to provide a fuller perspective of each model's strengths. From this outlook, we discuss the current state of the art and strategies for tackling future modeling challenges.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Cancer Biology offers comprehensive reviews on various topics within cancer research, covering pivotal and emerging areas in the field. As our understanding of cancer's fundamental mechanisms deepens and more findings transition into targeted clinical treatments, the journal is structured around three main themes: Cancer Cell Biology, Tumorigenesis and Cancer Progression, and Translational Cancer Science. The current volume of this journal has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, ensuring all articles are published under a CC BY license.
