Nanovectorized radiotherapy: a new strategy to induce anti-tumor immunity
Recent experimental findings show that activation of the host immune system is required for the success of chemo- and radiotherapy. However, clinically apparent tumors have already developed multiple mechanisms to escape anti-tumor immunity. The fact that tumors are able to induce a state of tolerance and immunosuppression is a major obstacle in immunotherapy. Hence, there is an overwhelming ne...
متن کاملCD40-activated B cells induce anti-tumor immunity in vivo
The introduction of checkpoint inhibitors represents a major advance in cancer immunotherapy. Some studies on checkpoint inhibition demonstrate that combinatorial immunotherapies with secondary drivers of anti-tumor immunity provide beneficial effects for patients that do not show a strong endogenous immune response. CD40-activated B cells (CD40B cells) are potent antigen presenting cells by ac...
متن کاملLymphocytes genetically modified to express tumor antigens target DCs in vivo and induce antitumor immunity.
The exploitation of the physiologic processing and presenting machinery of DCs by in vivo loading of tumor-associated antigens may improve the immunogenic potential and clinical efficacy of DC-based cancer vaccines. Here we show that lymphocytes genetically modified to express self/tumor antigens, acting as antigen carriers, efficiently target DCs in vivo in tumor-bearing mice. The infusion of ...
متن کاملChemical carcinogens used to induce spontaneous tumors may suppress tumor specific T-cell immunity
Many mouse models of breast cancer have been developed that closely replicate human breast cancer subtypes at the genomic level. In order to develop vaccines that could prevent a broad spectrum of breast cancer subtypes, a combination of different spontaneous tumor models are needed. Transgenic models are available that mimic HER2+/luminal breast cancer (TgMMTV-Neu) and triple negative/basal-li...
متن کاملTumor cell loaded type-1 polarized dendritic cells induce Th1-mediated tumor immunity.
Dendritic cells are professional antigen-presenting cells capable of inducing and regulating innate and antigen-specific immune responses. Therapeutic cancer vaccines using ex vivo engineered or in vivo targeted dendritic cells are being evaluated in clinical trials. T-helper type-1 (Th1)-skewed immune responses are characterized by the preferential induction of antigen-specific IFN-gamma-secre...
