Repression of the Type I Interferon Pathway Underlies MYC- and KRAS-Dependent Evasion of NK and B Cells in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Abstract
Modest overexpression of human MYC plus expression of KrasG12D drove rapid pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma development in mice, suppressing the type I interferon response and preventing NK- and B-cell infiltration.
