Improving Adoptive T Cell Therapy: The Particular Role of T Cell Costimulation, Cytokines, and Post-Transfer Vaccination
Adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) is a form of immunotherapy whereby antigen-specific T cells are isolated or engineered, expanded ex vivo, and transferred back to patients. Clinical benefit after ACT has been obtained in treatment of infection, various hematological malignancies, and some solid tumors; however, due to poor functionality and persistence of the transferred T cells, the efficacy of...
متن کاملCytotoxic T-Cell Markers and Cytokines in Human Papillomavirus 16
Background and Aim: Cervical cancer is the fourth main cause of mortality among women, and annually about half a million new cases are detected in developed countries. Based on oncological studies, human papillomavirus (HPV) is classified into two categories: high-risk type and low-risk type, and most cases are related to the high-risk type of human papillomavirus. HPV 16 and 18 are among the m...
متن کاملEnabling T Cell Recruitment to Tumours as a Strategy for Improving Adoptive T Cell Therapy
I mmunotherapy has successfully been implemented as the standard of care in a number of oncologic indications. A hallmark of cancer immunotherapy is the successful activation of T cells against cancer cells, leading to unparalleled efficacy for some tumour entities. However, current approved approaches are not specific, limiting both their activity and their safety. A more tailored way of using...
متن کاملPrinciples of adoptive T cell cancer therapy.
The transfusion of T cells, also called adoptive T cell therapy, is an effective treatment for viral infections and has induced regression of cancer in early-stage clinical trials. However, recent advances in cellular immunology and tumor biology are guiding new approaches to adoptive T cell therapy. For example, use of engineered T cells is being tested as a strategy to improve the functions o...
متن کاملAdoptive T-cell therapy of cancer.
Adoptive therapy involves the transfer of ex vivo expanded immune effector cells to patients as a means of augmenting the antitumor immune response. In general, this transfer is accomplished by harvesting cells from the peripheral blood, tumor sites, or draining lymph nodes and expanding effector cells in a specific or nonspecific fashion for adoptive transfer. This article describes the ration...
