Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy

TLDR
What has been learned thus far about human DC biology from clinical studies are discussed, and how current approaches to apply DC vaccines in the clinic could be improved to enhance anti-tumor immunity are discussed.
Abstract
Immunotherapy using dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccination is an approved approach for harnessing the potential of a patient's own immune system to eliminate tumor cells in metastatic hormone-refractory cancer. Overall, although many DC vaccines have been tested in the clinic and proven to be immunogenic, and in some cases associated with clinical outcome, there remains no consensus on how to manufacture DC vaccines. In this review we will discuss what has been learned thus far about human DC biology from clinical studies, and how current approaches to apply DC vaccines in the clinic could be improved to enhance anti-tumor immunity.

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles: molecular parcels that enable regulation of the immune response in cancer

TL;DR: The current knowledge of the functional cargo contained within EVs is described, with a focus on tumor microvesicles, and the emerging theory of how EVs support immune suppression in cancer is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compromised functionality of monocyte-derived dendritic cells in multiple myeloma patients may limit their use in cancer immunotherapy.

TL;DR: It is investigated whether in vitro generated Mo-DCs from MM patients (MM- DCs) possess impaired functionality, thus contributing to the limited success of DC vaccines, and a need to look for alternative sources of DCs.

Predictors of Response to Autologous Dendritic Cell Therapy in Glioblastoma Multiforme

TL;DR: For patients receiving DC vaccine adjuvant therapy, better outcomes are predicted in patients with younger age, with TILs or PBMCs with lower PD-1+/CD8+ ratio, with gross tumor resection, and receiving CCRT.

Microfluidic Cell Stretching for Highly Effective Gene Delivery into Hard-to-Transfect Primary Cells

TL;DR: The intracellular delivery platform developed in the present study enables a high delivery efficiency (up to 98%), easy operation (single-step), low material cost (<$1), high scalability, minimal cell perturbation, and cell type/cargo insensitive delivery, providing a practical and robust approach anticipated to critically impact cell-based research.

Immunobiology of Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells with a unique ability to induce primary immune responses and may be important for the induction of immunological tolerance, as well as for the regulation of the type of T cell-mediated immune response.

Neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Observations indicate that neoantigen load may form a biomarker in cancer immunotherapy and provide an incentive for the development of novel therapeutic approaches that selectively enhance T cell reactivity against this class of antigens.
