Nutrition and tumor immunity: divergent effects of antitumor antibody.

نویسنده

چکیده

Nutritional deficiency reduces antibody synthetic capacity. Antibody directed against tumor antigens, however, may serve either to heighten tumor immunity, as in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, or to diminish host resistance to cancer growth by "blocking" cell-mediated tumor immunity. Diets made deficient in specific amino acids are inimical to tumor growth, apparently through reduction of synthesis of blocking antibody. Thus, where tumor immune function is involved, complex and possibly paradoxical effects of nutritional status on tumor growth can be predicted.

Antitumor Effects of HPV DNA Vaccine Adjuvanted with Beclin-1 as an Autophagy Inducer in a Mice Model

Background: There is a growing interest in development of an effective adjuvant system for improving DNA vaccines. Recent findings have confirmed an important role for autophagy in both innate and adaptive immunity. The current study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of autophagy induction with Beclin-1, as a novel adjuvant system, in mice immunized with human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA v...

Divergent effects of 4-1BB antibodies on antitumor immunity and on tumor-reactive T-cell generation.

4-1BB is an inducible receptor-like protein expressed rapidly by both CD4 and CD8 T-cells after activation. 4-1BB cross-linking, either by binding to 4-1BBL or by antibody ligation, delivers a costimulatory signal to enhance T-cell activation and proliferation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the administration of 4-1BB monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) induces antitumor immune responses. In...

Preparation and characterization of different liposomal formulations containing P5 HER2/neu-derived peptide and evaluation of their immunological responses and antitumor effects

Objective(s):Tumor-associated antigen (TAA) subunit-based vaccines constitute promising tools for anticancer immunotherapy. However, a major limitation in the development of such vaccines is the poor immunogenicity of peptides when used alone.The aim of this study was to develop an efficient vaccine delivery system and adjuvant to enhance anti-tumor activity of a synthetic HER2/neu derived pept...

Durable antitumor responses to CD47 blockade require adaptive immune stimulation.

Therapeutic antitumor antibodies treat cancer by mobilizing both innate and adaptive immunity. CD47 is an antiphagocytic ligand exploited by tumor cells to blunt antibody effector functions by transmitting an inhibitory signal through its receptor signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα). Interference with the CD47-SIRPα interaction synergizes with tumor-specific monoclonal antibodies to elimina...
