Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy

The study of molecular and cellular interplays between immune system and cancerous cells is gaining tremendous momentum across the globe. Concomitantly, with the better insight into the intricacies of cancer immunology, immunotherapeutic approaches to deal with cancer have garnered tremendous boost in the recent past; reckoning with these, it is timely to analyse their potentialities either as ...

Hormesis in cancer immunology

We recently reported that tumor-directed antibodies could either stimulate, or inhibit, tumor progression, dependent upon the dosage used. The narrow range over which this immune response curve (IRC) occurs is surprising. Here we discuss features of the IRC, the mechanisms identified so far, and the potential clinical implications.

Cancer Immunology Miniatures

Cancer genome sequencing has enabled the rapid identification of the complete repertoire of coding sequence mutations within a patient's tumor and facilitated their use as personalized immunogens. Although a variety of techniques are available to assist in the selection of mutation-defined epitopes to be included within the tumor vaccine, the ability of the peptide to bind to patient MHC is a k...
