Immune surveillance against a solid tumor fails because of immunological ignorance.
Many peripheral solid tumors such as sarcomas and carcinomas express tumor-specific antigens that can serve as targets for immune effector T cells. Nevertheless, overall immune surveillance against such tumors seems relatively inefficient. We studied immune surveillance against a s.c. sarcoma expressing a characterized viral tumor antigen. Surprisingly, the tumor cells were capable of inducing ...
متن کاملProvision of antigen and CD137 signaling breaks immunological ignorance, promoting regression of poorly immunogenic tumors.
Treatment of advanced, poorly immunogenic tumors in animal models, considered the closest simulation available thus far for conditions observed in cancer patients, remains a major challenge for cancer immunotherapy. We reported previously that established tumors in mice receiving an agonistic mAb to the T cell costimulatory molecule 4-1BB (CD137) regress due to enhanced tumor antigen-specific c...
متن کاملHistological and Immunological Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) constitute the majority of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. They usually express a proto-oncogen protein called CD117 detected by immunohistochemistry. This study investigated the differentiation of GISTs as well as the risk of aggressive behaviors in GISTs from surgically-treated patients in university affiliated hospitals. Methods: The c...
متن کاملMolecular and immunological detection of circulating tumor cells and micrometastases from solid tumors.
Histological, immunological, and molecular methods have been used for detecting micrometastases from nonhematopoietic malignancies. Early studies utilizing cytological methods to identify circulating tumor cells demonstrated the uncertain significance of micrometastasis detection for predicting eventual recurrent disease. Recently, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for th...
