Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer immunotherapy: moving beyond current vaccines.

TL;DR: Results in cancer vaccine trials are considered and alternate strategies that mediate cancer regression in preclinical and clinical models are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer Regression and Autoimmunity in Patients After Clonal Repopulation with Antitumor Lymphocytes

TL;DR: The adoptive transfer of highly selected tumor-reactive T cells directed against overexpressed self-derived differentiation antigens after a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen resulted in the persistent clonal repopulation of T cells in cancer patients, leading to regression of the patients' metastatic melanoma as well as to the onset of autoimmune melanocyte destruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adoptive cell transfer as personalized immunotherapy for human cancer.

TL;DR: The ability to genetically engineer lymphocytes to express conventional T cell receptors or chimeric antigen receptors has further extended the successful application of ACT for cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunologic and therapeutic evaluation of a synthetic peptide vaccine for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma

TL;DR: A synthetic peptide, designed to increase binding to HLA-A2 molecules, was used as a cancer vaccine to treat patients with metastatic melanoma and, on the basis of immunologic assays, 91% of patients could be successfully immunized with this peptide.
