Combination Immunotherapy with 4-1BBL and CTLA-4 Blockade for the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Immune regulation has been shown to be involved in the progressive growth of some murine tumours. Interruption of immune regulatory pathways via activation of 4-1BB or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blockade appears to be a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of 4-1BBL-expressing tumor cell vaccine in combination with C...
متن کاملCombination immunotherapy of primary prostate cancer in a transgenic mouse model using CTLA-4 blockade.
We have previously shown that antibodies to CTLA-4, an inhibitory receptor on T cells, can be effective at inducing regression of transplantable murine tumors. In this study, we demonstrate that an effective immune response against primary prostate tumors in transgenic (TRAMP) mice can be elicited using a strategy that combines CTLA-4 blockade and an irradiated tumor cell vaccine. Treatment of ...

متن کاملCombination immunotherapy with Interleukin-2 and CTLA-4 blockade decreases tumor growth and improves overall survival
Background Combination immunotherapy is quickly gaining attention in the field of cancer treatment. IL-2, a cytokine which activates T cells, and ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks CTLA-4, are both approved as monotherapy for metastatic melanoma. To date, combination immunotherapy with IL-2 and anti-CTLA-4 has not been adequately investigated. We hypothesized that that this combinati...
متن کاملCTLA-4 Antibodies in Cancer Immunotherapy
Activating human immune system to battle cancer has been a focus of cancer immunotherapy research from quite some time. After decades of disappointment, the tide has finally changed with some recent successes in clinical trials. The first such approach with clinical success is cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) antibody therapy which aims to relieve the immune suppressive effects of CTLA-...
