Dendritic cells and vaccines.
prestigious 2007 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research for the discovery of dendritic cells. The award committee called him “a scientific sleuth, who without cloak and dagger, uncovered the intelligence-gathering component of our immune system—a monumental achievement in the 200-year history of immunology.” Dr. Steinman came to Baylor on September 20, 2007, as part of the celebration o...
متن کاملDendritic cell vaccines for cancer stem cells.
Accumulating evidence suggests that only a fraction of neoplastic cells, defined as cancer stem cells (CSC), are responsible for tumor perpetuation. Recent data suggest that neurospheres (NS) from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are enriched in CSC. The characterization of this subpopulation of brain tumor cells with a potent tumorigenic activity supports the cancer stem cell hypothesis in solid ...
متن کاملDesigning oral vaccines targeting intestinal dendritic cells.
INTRODUCTION Most pathogens colonize and invade the host at mucosal surfaces, such as the lung and the intestine. To combat intestinal pathogens the induction of local adaptive immune responses is required, which is mainly achieved through oral vaccination. However, most vaccines are ineffective when given orally owing to the hostile environment in the gastrointestinal tract. The encapsulation ...
متن کاملDendritic cells in cancer immunotherapy: vaccines and combination immunotherapies.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized immunostimulatory cells involved in the induction and regulation of immune responses. The feasibility of large-scale ex vivo generation of DCs from patients' monocytes allows for therapeutic application of ex vivo-cultured DCs to bypass the dysfunction of endogenous DCs, restore immune surveillance, induce cancer regression or stabilization or delay or prev...
