Immunotherapeutic implications of the immunophenotype of pediatric brain tumors

چکیده
The cytofluorometric analysis of dissociated tumor samples identified distinct immunophenotypes among the most common variants of pediatric brain tumor. These findings suggest that immunotherapeutic regimens against pediatric brain malignancies should be tailored to individual tumor types.

Despite increasing evidence that antitumor immune control exists in the pediatric brain, these findings have yet to be exploited successfully in the clinic. A barrier to development of immunotherapeutic strategies in pediatric brain tumors is that the immunophenotype of these tumors' microenvironment has not been defined. To address this, the current study used multicolor FACS of disaggregated ...
