Autoimmuno-Anti-Tumor Immunity – Understanding the Immune Responses against “self” and “Altered-Self”
The brief description of tumors being “wounds that do not heal” by Dr. Harold F. Dworak nearly three decades ago (N Engl J Med, 1986) (1) has provided not only a vivid illustration of neoplastic diseases in general but also, in retrospect conceptually, a plausible immunological definition of cancers. Based on our current understanding in the field, it could have even a multi-dimensional meaning...
متن کاملVisualizing anti-tumor immune responses in vivo.
Real-time imaging of stromal and immune cells in tumors is an emerging field that will greatly help us to understand the role of these non-malignant tumor components in tumor progression and therapy.
متن کاملEffect of Immune Responses Against Hydatid Cyst Antigens on Growth of Melanoma Tumor
Background: Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the tape worm parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. Human is infected by ingestion of parasite ova excreted in dog feces. The anticancer activity of different antigens of hydatid cyst has been reported in the previous works. In this research, the role of immune system in induction of this anticancer activity has been investigated.Materials and Method...
متن کاملTumorigenesis and anti-tumor immune responses in Xenopus.
Despite intense study, the role of the immune system in detecting (immunosurveillance), controlling and remodeling (immunoediting) neoplasia remains elusive. We present here a comparative view of the complex interactions between neoplasia and the host immune system. We provide evidence, in the amphibian Xenopus laevis, consistent with an evolutionarily conserved and crucial role of the immune s...
متن کاملRFA strongly modulates the immune system and anti-tumor immune responses in metastatic liver patients.
Radiofrequency tumor ablation (RFA) is a therapeutic modality for liver cancer patients inducing localized tumor necrosis with maximal preservation of normal liver parenchyma. We investigated the immunomodulatory effects exerted by RFA treatment in liver cancer patients with metastatic liver lesions (13 patients) or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (4 patients). Analysis of lymphocyte subsets by ...
