Tumor-binding antibodies and tumor immunity
The remarkable capacity of the immune system to distinguish self from non-self makes it almost impossible to transmit cancers (or organs) from one individual to another in the absence of immunosuppressive drugs. Whereas rejection of donor cells bearing mismatched MHC alleles has been ascribed to direct activation of T cells by the altered MHC-peptide structures, the factors that initiate reject...
متن کاملRegulation of Tumor Immunity by Tumor/Dendritic Cell Fusions
The goal of cancer vaccines is to induce antitumor immunity that ultimately will reduce tumor burden in tumor environment. Several strategies involving dendritic cells- (DCs)- based vaccine incorporating different tumor-associated antigens to induce antitumor immune responses against tumors have been tested in clinical trials worldwide. Although DCs-based vaccine such as fusions of whole tumor ...
متن کاملChanging Roles of Matrix Metalloproteases and Their Inhibitors, TIMPs, During Tumor Progression and Angiogenesis
Inhibition of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) has been shown in vivo to decrease metastasis and tumor-associated angiogenesis. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the role of these proteins at the pericellular microenvironment of tumor and endothelial cells. Secretion of MMPs by tumor cells enables the migration, invasion and metasta...
متن کاملTumor Immunity
In a consideration of tumor immunity it appears desirable to discuss resistance to spontaneous tumors and to implanted tumor separately. Although results obtained with experimentally implanted tumors have contributed to the biology of tumors, these results can not be applied directly to spontaneous tumors and this is especially true with respect to immunity. It has long been recognized that imm...
متن کاملModelling Tumor-induced Angiogenesis: Combination of Stochastic Sprout Spacing and Sprout Progression
Background: Angiogenesis initiated by cancerous cells is the process by which new blood vessels are formed to enhance oxygenation and growth of tumor. Objective: In this paper, we present a new multiscale mathematical model for the formation of a vascular network in tumor angiogenesis process. Methods: Our model couples an improved sprout spacing model as a stochastic mathematical model of spro...
