Cancer cells can impair monocyte-mediated T-cell stimulation, and impair antitumor immunity. It turns out that monocytes can also stimulate T-cells, just like dendritic cells, with tumor peptide and the MHC class 1 complex. But if there is more prostagladin E2 and less interferon type 1, then this costimulation is inhibited, and the T-cell response is blunted.  This suggests possible strategies, such as cyclooxygenase inhibitors to decrease prostaglandin production.
