Induction of anti-self-immunity to cure cancer
A quiet but profound revolution in theoretical framework, a paradigm shift, now has infused the consideration of therapies in autoimmune diseases and cancers, as exem-It is becoming accepted that a large set of antigenic determinants of the self have not induced self-tolerance (reviewed by Sercarz et al., 1993) and that these peptide determinants furnish target structures for autoimmune attack ...
متن کاملGene therapy of cancer: induction of anti-tumor immunity.
Many malignancies lack satisfactory treatment and new therapeutic options are urgently needed. Gene therapy is a new modality to treat both inherited and acquired diseases based on the transfer of genetic material to the tissues. Different gene therapy strategies against cancers have been developed. A considerable number of preclinical studies indicate that a great variety of cancers are amenab...
متن کاملMicrobial Induction of Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer
The human microbiota presents a highly active metabolic that influences the state of health of our gastrointestinal tracts as well as our susceptibility to disease. Although much of our initial microbiota is adopted from our mothers, its final composition and diversity is determined by environmental factors. Westernization has significantly altered our microbial function. Extensive experimental...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of CTLA-4 Blockade and Cancer Chemotherapy in the Induction of Anti-Tumor Immunity
Several chemotherapeutics exert immunomodulatory effects. One of these is the nucleoside analogue gemcitabine, which is widely used in patients with lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, mesothelioma and several other types of cancer, but with limited efficacy. We hypothesized that the immunopotentiating effects of this drug are partly restrained by the inhibitory T cell molecule CTLA-4 a...
متن کاملInduction and characterization of anti-tumor endothelium immunity elicited by ValloVax therapeutic cancer vaccine
ValloVax is a placental endothelium derived vaccine which induces tissue-nonspecific antitumor immunity by blocking tumor angiogesis. To elucidate mechanisms of action, we showed that production of ValloVax, which involves treating placental endothelial cells with IFN-gamma, results in upregulation of HLA and costimulatory molecules. It was shown that in mixed lymphocyte reaction, ValloVax indu...
