In human prostatecarcinoma, high levels of nitrotyrosine in T cells due to the action ofperoxynitrite, makes them unresponsive to tumor antigen [169].Direct contact of T cells with MDSCs leads to the nitration of T cellreceptor (TCR) and CD8 molecules making them unresponsive tospeciï¬c antigen stimuli [170,171].
Abiotic factors of the rainforest include soil, water, rocks, light, and climate.The soil is typically poor in a tropical rainforest because the heavy rainfall washes away nutrients and it is usually acidic. Because of the soil conditions, many trees rely upon lateral root systems rather than deep tap roots. Views.
