Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity influence tumor growth in the TRAMP prostate cancer model

• Our results argue for a role for IDO mediated immune suppression in the early stages of prostate cancer progression. However, since the intra-tumor IDO expression in J(-/-) mice was indistinguishable from that of C57BL/6 animals the IDO expression in the tumor tissue appears to be irrelevant for TRAMP tumor incidence.
