Regulation of Tumor Immunity by Tumor/Dendritic Cell Fusions
The goal of cancer vaccines is to induce antitumor immunity that ultimately will reduce tumor burden in tumor environment. Several strategies involving dendritic cells- (DCs)- based vaccine incorporating different tumor-associated antigens to induce antitumor immune responses against tumors have been tested in clinical trials worldwide. Although DCs-based vaccine such as fusions of whole tumor ...
متن کاملNKT Cell Networks in the Regulation of Tumor Immunity
CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells lie at the interface between the innate and adaptive immune systems and are important mediators of immune responses and tumor immunosurveillance. These NKT cells uniquely recognize lipid antigens, and their rapid yet specific reactions influence both innate and adaptive immunity. In tumor immunity, two NKT subsets (type I and type II) have contrastin...
متن کاملHumoral regulation of cell-mediated immunity to syngeneic tumor.
Inoculation i.p. of C57BL/6 mice with FBL-3 cells, a syngeneic Friend virus-induced leukemia, results in progressive growth of ascitic tumors; in contrast, s.c. inoculation of FBL-3 cells produces transient, localized tumor growth; the recipients are then subsequently resistant to further i.p. challenge of this tumor. Experiments were performed to study the effects of humoral factors that might...
متن کاملRegulation of NK cell activation by stimulatory and inhibitory receptors in tumor escape from innate immunity.
Recent years have witnessed our major progresses in understanding the membrane-bound receptors on NK cells. Although functional studies of ligands for these NK cell receptors provide good opportunities to study roles of NK cells in anti-tumor and anti-virus immunosurveillance, little was known about how these ligands expression were modulated under physiological and pathological conditions. Sev...
متن کاملMacrophage-Tumor Cell Fusions from Peripheral Blood of Melanoma Patients
BACKGROUND While the morbidity and mortality from cancer are largely attributable to its metastatic dissemination, the integral features of the cascade are not well understood. The widely accepted hypothesis is that the primary tumor microenvironment induces the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells, facilitating their escape into the bloodstream, possibly accompanied by cancer s...
