The application of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors remains a significant challenge. Simultaneously targeting antigen and the solid tumor microenvironment are two major factors that greatly impact CAR ...

Extranodal nasal natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is a rare but highly aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Nevertheless, despite extensive research, the estimated 5-year overall survival of affected patients remains low ...

Regulatory mechanisms of immune checkpoints PD-L1 and CTLA-4 in cancer
The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4)/B7 and programmed death 1 (PD-1)/ programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) are two most representative immune checkpoint pathways, which negatively regulate T cell immune function during different ...

Antigen-specific regression of established tumors induced by active immunization with irradiated IL-12- but not B7-1-transfected tumor cells [PDF]
Transfection of modestly immunogenic tumors to express B7 family co-stimulator molecules results in their rejection by syngeneic mice, suggesting a possible clinical application in cancer patients. Immunization of naive mice with irradiated B7-1-transfected P1.HTR cells is sufficient to induce specific cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and to protect ...

T Cell Mediated Antibody lnvariance in an Immune Response Against A Bacterial Carbohydrate Antigen Requires CD28/B7–1 Costimulation [PDF]
The humoral immune response against α(1 → 3) dextran (Dex) in BALB/c mice is characterized by the formation of predominantly IgM antibodies bearing the J558 idiotype. IgG antibodies do not appear in euthymic mice. In athymic animals however, the response proceeds to a vigorous IgG production.

Bioinformatics-based design of a fusion vaccine with CTLA-4 variable region to combat Brucella
Brucellosis has become a global zoonotic disease, seriously endangering the health of people all over the world. Vaccination is an effective strategy for protection against Brucella infection in livestock in developed countries. However, current vaccines

Costimulatory protein B7-1 enhances the cytotoxic T cell response and antibody response to hepatitis B surface antigen. [PDF]
There is a need for more effective therapy for chronic virus infections. A principle natural mechanism for elimination of virus-infected host cells is activation of viral antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In an effort to develop methods of inducing virus-specific CTL responses that might be utilized in therapy of virus infections, we have

Defective antigen‐presenting cell function in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: Role of the B7‐1 (CD80) costimulatory molecule [PDF]
AbstractObjective. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who exhibit defective in vitro responses to recall antigens and normal responses to alloantigens have been shown to have an abnormality in antigenpresenting cell (APC) function. This study was undertaken to further characterize this defect in APC function in lupus patients.Methods ...
