Specificity may be overrated in cancer immunotherapy

چکیده
For a long time, cancer immunotherapy has focused on the induction of tumor-specific T cell-mediated immune responses. Now, a mounting body of evidence indicates that efficient anticancer immune responses also rely on innate immunity. Tietze et al. have recently elucidated an antigen-nonspecific role for memory CD8(+) T cells in cytokine-based cancer immunotherapy.

Repurposing of drug candidates for treatment of skin cancer
Skin cancers are highly prevalent malignancies that affect millions of people worldwide. These include melanomas and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Melanomas are among the most dangerous cancers, while nonmelanoma skin cancers generally exhibit a more benign clinical pattern; however, they may sometimes be aggressive and metastatic. Melanomas typically appear in body regions exposed to the sun, alt...
متن کاملCloning, expression, purification and the study of immunotherapy status of TGFαL3-SEB chimeric protein in breast cancer treatment
Background & Aim: Bacterial superantigens, stimulate polyclonal T cells irrespective of their antigen specificity, resulting in a massive release of cytokines from T cells and monocytes, and suggest that that they could be candidates of new antitumor agents. Recent attempts have been done to specifically target superantigens towards tumors. Here, we evaluate TGFαL3-SEB fusion protein as a new a...

Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a mainstream therapy option in the battle against cancer. Pre-clinical data demonstrates the ability of immunotherapy to harness the immune system to fight disseminated malignancy. Clinical translation has failed to recapitulate the promising results of pre-clinical studies although there have been some successes. In this review we explore some of the short-c...
متن کاملStudy of NGEP expression in androgen sensitive prostate cancer cells: A potential target for immunotherapy
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men. New gene expressed in prostate (NGEP), is a prostate-specific gene expressed only in normal prostate and prostate cancer tissue. Because of its selective expression in prostate cancer cell surface, NGEP is a potential immunotherapeutic target. To target the NGEP in prostate cancer, it is essential to investig...
