Apolipoprotein E promotes immune suppression in pancreatic cancer through NF-κB–mediated production of CXCL1

SB Kemp, ES Carpenter, NG Steele, KL Donahue… - Cancer research, 2021 - AACR
This study shows that elevated apolipoprotein E in PDAC mediates immune suppression
and high serum apolipoprotein E levels correlate with poor patient survival. See related …
