B Cells Are Critical to T-cell—Mediated Antitumor Immunity Induced by a Combined Immune-Stimulatory/Conditionally Cytotoxic Therapy for Glioblastoma

TLDR
This article showed that modifying the tumor microenvironment through intratumoral administration of adenoviral vectors (Ad) encoding the conditional cytotoxic molecule, i.e., HSV1-TK and the immune-stimulatory cytokine (Flt3L) leads to T-cell-dependent tumor regression in rodent models of glioblastoma.

B lymphocytes and cancer: a love-hate relationship.

TL;DR: In some tumors B cells may impede antitumor immunity while in others they contribute to the immunological containment of cancer.

Tumor infiltrating immune cells in gliomas and meningiomas

TL;DR: Current knowledge about tumor-infiltrating immune cells in the two most common types of CNS tumors-gliomas and meningiomas are summarized, as well as the role that such immune cells may play in the tumor microenvironment in controlling and/or promoting tumor development, growth and control.

Immune Evasion Strategies of Glioblastoma.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to highlight the strategies by which GBM cells evade the host immune system and pave the way for developing novel immunotherapeutic approaches for treatment of GBM.

Immunosuppressive Mechanisms of Malignant Gliomas: Parallels at Non-CNS Sites

TL;DR: The immune responses in the CNS are linked and complementary to immune processes in the periphery, and advances in tumor immunotherapy in peripheral sites may therefore illuminate novel approaches to brain tumor Immunotherapy, and vice versa.

Marginal zone b cells

TL;DR: The functions of these cells in both innate and adaptive immunity are discussed, and differing viewpoints regarding the generation and function of marginal zone B cells in rodents and primates are reconciled.

Blimp-1 Is Required for the Formation of Immunoglobulin Secreting Plasma Cells and Pre-Plasma Memory B Cells

TL;DR: Mice created with a B cell-specific deletion of prdm1, the gene encoding Blimp-1, show that in response to either TD or TI antigen, serum Ig, short-lived Plasma cells, post-GC plasma cells, and plasma cells in a memory response are virtually absent, demonstrating that Blimp-1 is required for plasmacytic differentiation and Ig secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

De novo carcinogenesis promoted by chronic inflammation is B lymphocyte dependent.

TL;DR: It is reported that genetic elimination of mature T and B lymphocytes in a transgenic mouse model of inflammation-associated de novo epithelial carcinogenesis, e.g., K14-HPV16 mice, limits neoplastic progression to development of epithelial hyperplasias that fail to recruit innate immune cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Migratory dendritic cells transfer antigen to a lymph node-resident dendritic cell population for efficient CTL priming.

TL;DR: After skin infection with herpes simplex virus, cytotoxic T lymphocyte activation required MHC class I-restricted presentation by nonmigratory CD8(+) DCs rather than skin-derived DCs, which supports the argument for initial transport of antigen by migratingDCs, followed by its transfer to the lymphoid-resident DCs for presentation and CTL priming.
