Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment and rejuvenated the field of tumor immunology. Several types of immunotherapy, including adoptive cell transfer (ACT) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have obtained durable clinical responses, but

CAR T cell therapy becomes CHIC: “cytokine help intensified CAR” T cells
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) in the canonical “second generation” format provide two signals for inducing T cell effector functions; the primary “signal-1” is provided through the TCR CD3ζ chain and the “signal-2” through a linked costimulatory ...

HIV envelope is a target for vaccine development, but induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies has been difficult. Here, the authors show that electroporation with a synthetic DNA vaccine construct allows in vivo production of HIV envelope native ...

B cells and tertiary lymphoid structures promote immunotherapy response
Treatment with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer therapy. Until now, predictive biomarkers1–10 and strategies to augment clinical response have largely focused on the T cell compartment.

Immunotherapy of lung cancer: An update [PDF]
In Germany lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated death in men. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may enhance survival of patients suffering from lung cancer but the enhancement is typically transient and mostly absent with advanced ...

In vivo application of recombinant interleukin 2 in the immunotherapy of established cytomegalovirus infection [PDF]
We have shown in a murine model system for cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in the immunocompromised host that in vivo application of recombinant human IL-2 (rhIL-2) can enhance the antiviral effect of a limited number of CD8+T lymphocytes, not only in ...

Gut microbiome modulates response to anti–PD-1 immunotherapy in melanoma patients
Good bacteria help fight cancer Resident gut bacteria can affect patient responses to cancer immunotherapy (see the Perspective by Jobin). Routy et al. show that antibiotic consumption is associated with poor response to immunotherapeutic PD-1 blockade ...

A systematic review and economic evaluation of subcutaneous and sublingual allergen immunotherapy in adults and children with seasonal allergic rhinitis [PDF]
© Queen’s Printer and Controller of HMSO 2013Severe allergic rhinitis uncontrolled by conventional medication can substantially affect quality of life. Immunotherapy involves administering increasing doses of a specific allergen, with the aim of reducing

Signatures of T cell dysfunction and exclusion predict cancer immunotherapy response
Cancer treatment by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) can bring long-lasting clinical benefits, but only a fraction of patients respond to treatment. To predict ICB response, we developed TIDE, a computational method to model two primary mechanisms of ...

An escherichia coli vaccine co-expressing listeriolysin-O and tumour antigen in cancer immunotherapy and the mechanisms of immune regulation [PDF]
PhDSome recombinant bacterial strains have been shown to be very efficient in experimental therapies against cancer in rodent models. Amongst them is an E. coli that expresses the Listeriolysin-O protein (LLO) and a model tumour antigen ovalbumin (OVA)
