Embryos and tumors are both masses of dividing cells expressing foreign Ags, but they are not rejected by the immune system. We hypothesized that similar tolerogenic mechanisms prevent their rejection. Global comparison of fetal and tumor microenvironments through transcriptomics in mice revealed strikingly similar and dramatic decreases in expression of numerous immune-related pathways, including Ag presentation and T cell signaling. Unsupervised analyses highlighted the parallel kinetics and s ...[more]
