The early antitumor immune response is necessary for tumor growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early events responsible of tumor growth in patients with a normal immune system are poorly understood. Here, we discuss, in the context of human melanoma, the Prehn hypothesis according to which a weak antitumor immune response may be required for tumor growth before weakly or non-immunogenic tumor cell subpopulations are selected by the immune system.

Abstract Background: In the serum of healthy people, IgG4 has lowest concentration among the different sub-classes of IgG. Elevation of serum IgG4 in response to chronic antigenic stimulation and inflammation has been reported. Inflammation, histopathologic lesions and systemic organ involvement have been reported in the IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). In this article we review IgG4 unique f...
متن کاملTumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells can elicit an effective antitumor immune response during early lymphoid recovery.
Dendritic cells (DC) can serve to immunize the newborn immune system to foreign antigen. In a lymphopenic environment, naive T cells undergoing homeostasis-driven proliferation can acquire increased sensitivity to antigen stimulation. Here, we evaluated the capacity of DC to effectively prime the host immune system to elicit antitumor effects in the setting of early lymphoid reconstitution afte...
متن کاملImmune responses regulation following antitumor dendritic cell-based prophylactic, concurrent, and therapeutic vaccination.
There is ample evidence in favor of various immunosuppressive mechanisms that weaken antitumor immune responses and affect currently used immunotherapies. Induction of regulatory T cells (Treg) and secretion of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by tumor tissue are considered as two main mechanisms of tumor immune escape. However, little is known about the contribution of these mechanisms on the...
متن کاملEffector-phase tolerance: another mechanism of how cancer escapes antitumor immune response.
Growth of cancer in rodent models and in patients elicits immune responses directed toward various antigens expressed by the transformed cell. Clearly though, as most tumors grow, unmanipulated antitumor immune responses are incapable of eliminating cancer. Over the past approximately 15 years, antitumor immunoglobulin and T cells have been used to identify tumor antigens, which in turn, have s...
متن کاملAntitumor Effects of HPV DNA Vaccine Adjuvanted with Beclin-1 as an Autophagy Inducer in a Mice Model
Background: There is a growing interest in development of an effective adjuvant system for improving DNA vaccines. Recent findings have confirmed an important role for autophagy in both innate and adaptive immunity. The current study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of autophagy induction with Beclin-1, as a novel adjuvant system, in mice immunized with human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA v...
