B7 costimulation and intracellular indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression in peripheral blood of healthy pregnant and non-pregnant women. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: B7 costimulatory molecules are expressed on antigen presenting cells (APCs) and are important regulators of T cell activation. We investigated the role of the B7 family of costimulatory molecules in the development of the systemic maternal ...

Immunocompetent murine models for the study of glioblastoma immunotherapy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Glioblastoma remains a lethal diagnosis with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. (NEJM 352:987-96, 2005) Although immunotherapy-based approaches are capable of inducing detectable immune responses against tumor-specific antigens, improvements in ...

Silencing B7-H1 enhances the anti-tumor effect of bladder cancer antigen-loaded dendritic cell vaccine in vitro

open access: yesOncoTargets and Therapy, 2014
The aim of this study was to examine whether short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expressing lentiviral particles targeting B7-H1 infection could result in B7-H1 knockdown on dendritic cells (DCs) and to investigate whether B7-H1 silencing could augment the immune function of DCs and further elicit a more potent anti-tumor immune effect against bladder cancer ...

Increased expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in human pituitary tumors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
PURPOSE: Subsets of pituitary tumors exhibit an aggressive clinical courses and recur despite surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Because modulation of the immune response through inhibition of T-cell checkpoints has led to durable clinical responses ...

Current trends in glioblastoma multiforme treatment: radiation therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain cancer. Even with aggressive combination therapy, the median life expectancy for patients with GBM remains approximately 14 months.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The immune system has long been known to play a critical role in the body's defence against cancer, and there have been multiple attempts to harness it for therapeutic gain.

PD-L1 chimeric costimulatory receptor improves the efficacy of CAR-T cells for PD-L1-positive solid tumors and reduces toxicity in vivo

open access: yesBiomarker Research, 2020
Background On-target off-tumor toxicity impedes the clinical application of chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T cells) in the treatment of solid tumors.

Sarcoma immunotherapy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Much of our knowledge regarding cancer immunotherapy has been derived from sarcoma models. However, translation of preclinical findings to bedside success has been limited in this disease, though several intriguing clinical studies hint at the potential ...

Pattern of differential expression of costimulatory molecules in myeloma cell line MM1.R

open access: yesRevista Médica del Hospital General de México, 2018
T cells constantly recognise and eliminate circulating tumour cells. They require two signals in order to be activated: antigen presentation via TCR, and costimulatory interaction with different surface molecules of the B7 family, which may either ...

Germline-encoded neutralization of a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor by the human antibody repertoire. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus is both an important pathogen and a human commensal. To explore this ambivalent relationship between host and microbe, we analysed the memory humoral response against IsdB, a protein involved in iron acquisition, in four healthy ...
