• Role of the mannose receptor in tumor associated macrophages. Studies in a mouse melanoma model 

      Rønningen, Iselin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-04-15)
      Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in cancer-related inflammation. TAMs develop M2 polarization which may support tumor growth. Mannose receptor (MR) expression is a hallmark for this cell-subpopulation, and the MR has recently been suggested to be involved in TAM polarization. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of MR in TAM polarization and tumor development ...
