Summary
One of the hallmarks of failure of elimination of malignant cells by activated T-cells is the immunosuppressive environment of the tumour. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells contribute to this immunosuppressive environment by inhibition of the adaptive and innate immune system. In this article we describe the current knowledge of the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the progression of haematological malignancies.
