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.

Testing Cell-Based Immunotherapy for Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: This work describes general validation steps for preclinical evaluation of cell-based immunotherapy and describes a xenograft model of human colorectal cancer that can be used for applied to pre clinical evaluation of various cell- based therapy regimens for coloreCTal cancer treatment.

A Pan-Cancer Analysis of SLC12A5 Reveals Its Correlations with Tumor Immunity.

TL;DR: In this paper, Solute carrier family 12 member 5 (SLC12A5) has been reported to play an oncogenic role in certain malignancies and its prognostic roles and immune mechanisms of action in human cancers, however, remain largely unknown.

Adenosine triphosphate, polymyxin B and B16 cell-derived immunization induce anticancer response.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used whole dead tumor cells as antigen source and the induction of a protective immune response could be enhanced by damage-associated molecular patterns by using B16-immunogenic cell bodies from B16 melanoma cells.

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.
