Immunomodulatory and antitumor effects of type I interferons and their application in cancer therapy
During the last decades, the pleiotropic antitumor functions exerted by type I interferons (IFNs) have become universally acknowledged, especially their role in mediating interactions between the tumor and the immune system. Indeed, type I IFNs are now appreciated as a critical component of dendritic cell (DC) driven T cell responses to cancer. Here we focus on IFN-α and IFN-β, and their antitu...
متن کاملToxicity and immunomodulatory effects of interleukin-2 after autologous bone marrow transplantation for hematologic malignancies.
Autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) for advanced hematologic malignancies is associated with high relapse rates. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells represent a potentially non-cross-resistant therapeutic modality that might prevent or delay relapses if used early after ABMT at a time when the tumor burden is minimal. However, high-dose chemoradiotherapy a...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory effects of food
There is a strong consensus that nutrition plays a role in modulating immune function and that the immune system needs adequate supply of nutrients to function properly. The complexity of the immune system supports this idea because its optimal functioning involves a variety of biological activities including cell division and proliferation, energy metabolism, and production of proteins. The mi...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Effects of Radiotherapy
It is well known that radiotherapy, as mainly locoregional treatment, has systemic eff ects as well. The term abscopal eff ect (latin: ab – away from; scopus – target) has been used to describe the regression of distant tumor metastases after completion of primary tumor radiation therapy. It has been shown that radiotherapy can initiate systemic antitumor immunologic response which includes the...
