Role of tumor architecture in elicitation of effector functions of human cytotoxic T-lymphocytes recognizing melanoma associated antigens [PDF]
Growth in 3D architectures has been shown to promote the resistance of cancers to treatment with drugs, cytokines, or irradiation, thereby potentially playing an important role in tumor expansion.

Increasing the Antigenicity of Synthetic Tumor‐Associated Carbohydrate Antigens by Targeting Toll‐Like Receptors [PDF]
AbstractSynthetic cancer vaccines: A number of fully synthetic vaccine candidates have been designed, chemically synthesized, and immunologically evaluated to establish a strategy to overcome the poor immunogenicity of tumor‐associated carbohydrates and glycopeptides and to determine the importance of Toll‐like receptor (TLR) engagement for antigenic ...
