Ablation of liver tissue produces in situ tumoural antigens and elicits specific immune responses. The aim of this review is to examine the available data about the local and systemic responses produced and to compare differences between the methods available. A literature search was undertaken for all papers focusing on immune responses following ablative therapy of the liver, including experimental and clinical studies.

Abstract
Ablation of liver tissue produces in situ tumoural antigens and elicits specific immune responses. The aim of this review is to examine the available data about the local and systemic responses produced and to compare differences between the methods available. A literature search was undertaken for all papers focusing on immune responses following ablative therapy of the liver, including experimental and clinical studies. Following ablative procedures, the cellular response is elicited by the presentation of antigens by dendritic cells to specific CD4File in questo prodotto:
