Dendritic cells and vaccines.

چکیده
prestigious 2007 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research for the discovery of dendritic cells. The award committee called him “a scientific sleuth, who without cloak and dagger, uncovered the intelligence-gathering component of our immune system—a monumental achievement in the 200-year history of immunology.” Dr. Steinman came to Baylor on September 20, 2007, as part of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Baylor Institute for Immunology Research (Figure 1). We were honored to welcome him and appreciate his willingness to publish his well-received presentation in Proceedings. —Michael a. e. RaMsay, MD, associate editor and president of Baylor Research Institute

Effective Dendritic Cell-based Immunotherapeutic Vaccines for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of poor prognosis hematological malignancies characterized by heterogeneous clonal expansion of myeloid progenitors. Leukemic stem cells are thought to form the majority of a cell population in minimal residual diseases (MRDs) which are resistant to current chemotherapeutic regimens and mediate disease relapse. Current therapeutic vaccine strategies have d...

Background: Melanoma is a common and malignant cutaneous tumor, which is responsible for a large proportion of skin cancer deaths. Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines have achieved positive results in the treatment of melanoma because of their ability to induce cytotoxic response to facilitate tumor elimination. Objective: To improve the efficacy of dendritic ce...
متن کاملEffects of Dendritic Cell Vaccine Activated with Components of Lieshmania Major on Tumor Specific Response
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) contribute essentially to the outset and course of immune responses. So in patients with malignancy, there have been considerable interests in use of these cells in different interventions. Objective: To evaluate the impact of Leishmania major’s components on DC maturation and their use as a therapeutic agent against t...
متن کاملLiposome and polymer-based nanomaterials for vaccine applications
Nanoparticles (NPs) are effective and safe adjuvants for antigen delivery in modern vaccinology. Biodegradable nanomaterials with suitable properties are frequently applied for conjugation or loading with antigens; they protect the antigens from degradation in vivo. NPs are applied as effective delivery system to facilitate antigen uptake by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and especially dendri...
