摘要

Mucosal boundaries, which are immunologically tolerogenic, undergo malignant transformation at high rates. We have identified the expression of neonatal Fc receptor for IgG (FcRn) by dendritic cells as a critical mediator of mucosal anti-cancer immunosurveillance. This discovery extends our understanding of neonatal Fc receptors, defines a role for tumor-reactive IgGs, and identifies an avenue for the development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics.
