An immunotherapeutic intervention against tumor progression
Targeting the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is emerging as a novel intervention against tumor progression and metastatic dissemination, as well as the resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy displayed by multiple carcinomas. We have recently developed an immunotherapeutic approach to target a major driver of EMT, the T-box transcription factor T (also known as brachyury). This therap...
متن کاملImmunotherapeutic Intervention against Sarcomas
Advances in systemic therapy for sarcoma have produced, over the last two decades, relatively short-term benefits for the majority of patient. Among the novel biologic therapeutics that will likely increase our ability to cure human cancer in the years to come, immunotherapy is one of the most promising approaches. While past attempts to use immunotherapy have failed to dramatically shift the p...
متن کاملNKT Cells as an Ideal Anti-Tumor Immunotherapeutic
Human natural killer T (NKT) cells are characterized by their expression of an invariant T cell antigen receptor α chain variable region encoded by a Vα24Jα18 rearrangement. These NKT cells recognize α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) in conjunction with the MHC class I-like CD1d molecule and bridge the innate and acquired immune systems to mediate efficient and augmented immune responses. A prime...
متن کاملImplementing combinatorial immunotherapeutic regimens against cancer
Harnessing the host immune system to eradicate cancer has a high therapeutic potential. One paradigm of anticancer immunotherapy is represented by allogeneic stem cell transplantation. In this setting, the host must be conditioned prior to transplantation, allowing for engraftment and subsequent graft-vs.-tumor reactivity. Conditioning may also be a prerequisite for the efficacy of other immuno...
متن کاملTumor-immunotherapeutic Efficacy of Serratia marcescens Polyribosomes1
The ability of polyribosomes, obtained from several bacterial species, to suppress the development of cutaneous SaD2 fibrosarcomas in DBA/2 mice was evaluated. Suppression of tumor appearance depended upon the tumor load at the time of treatment, dose of polyribosomes, and species source of polyribosomes, with Serratia marcescens being superior to Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Myc...
