Ex vivo gene transfer for improved adoptive immunotherapy of cancer.
Adoptive immunotherapy is an appealing approach to cancer treatment, with the potential for more precise targeting and reduced toxicity. While early clinical trial data using adoptive T cells against post-transplant virus-associated hematologic malignancies, lymphoma and melanoma have been promising, treating other solid tumors has proven to be more challenging. Adoptive lymphocytes have been g...
متن کاملToward improved influenza vaccines.
Influenza takes a large toll on human health, particularly in the elderly population. The current unadjuvanted trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (TIVs) are notorious for modest-to-dismal efficacy among elderly individuals. Protection by TIV is limited largely to the 3 or 4 strains chosen for each influenza season. The drifts in circulating strains mean that annual receipt of TIV is recom...
متن کاملDevelopment of improved therapeutic mesothelin-based vaccines for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer deaths, and there are no effective treatments. We developed a poxvirus platform vaccine with improved immunogenicity and inserted the mesothelin gene to create an anti-mesothelin cancer vaccine. Mesothelin expression is mostly restricted to tumors in adult mammals and thus may be a good target for cancer treatment. We show here that the modif...
متن کاملAnticancer gene transfer for cancer gene therapy.
Gene therapy vectors are among the treatments currently used to treat malignant tumors. Gene therapy vectors use a specific therapeutic transgene that causes death in cancer cells. In early attempts at gene therapy, therapeutic transgenes were driven by non-specific vectors which induced toxicity to normal cells in addition to the cancer cells. Recently, novel cancer specific viral vectors have...
متن کاملDesigner cancer vaccines made easy: protein transfer of immunostimulatory molecules for use in therapeutic tumor vaccines.
Advances in the understanding of the immune response to tumors has led to the development of new strategies to design therapeutic vaccines. One of these strategies is the development of protein transfer of immunostimulatory molecules onto the surface of tumor cells, thereby directing the immune response to the tumor antigens carried by the modified tumor cells. This strategy has been developed ...
