    Tumoricidal efficacy coincides with CD11c up-regulation in antigen-specific CD8+ T cells during vaccine immunotherapy

    Dendritic cells (DCs) mount tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), and the double-stranded RNA adjuvant Poly(I:C) stimulates Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) signal in DC, which in turn induces type I interferon (IFN) a...

    Pattern Recognition by Dendritic Cells and Its Application to Vaccine Adjuvant for Antitumor Immunotherapy

    Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate the maturation to a specific stage in response to stimuli with microbial pattern molecules (PAMP) and trigger activation of host immune response together with antigens (Ags). Rec...

    Adjuvant Immunotherapy for Cancer: From Basic Research to Clinical Bench

    Microbial infection is usually accompanied by inflammation and tissue wounding. These local symptoms are dependent on a host’s immune response rather than the direct cell damage by invading microbes. A microbe...

    The Role of Innate Immune Signaling in Regulation of Tumor-Associated Myeloid Cells

    Tumor progression is frequently associated with a profound alteration in myelopoiesis, which results in expansion of tumor-associated myeloid cells represented by tumor-associated macrophages and myeloid-deriv...

    An embryo-specific expressing TGF-β family protein, growth-differentiation factor 3 (GDF3), augments progression of B16 melanoma

    Malignant tumor cells often express embryonic antigens which share the expression with embryonic stem (ES) cells. The embryonic antigens are usually encoded by ES cell-specific genes, a number of which are ass...

    The extrinsic RNA-sensing pathway for adjuvant immunotherapy of cancer

    Infection with RNA viruses presents a typical pattern of virus products, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and induces the maturation of antigen-presenting dendritic cell (mDC). There are several dsRNA sensors that...

    A novel protein that participates in nonself discrimination of malignant cells by homologous complement

    The human complement (C) system protects an individual against substances of nonself origin, including xenografts and microbial pathogens1. Human cells express C-regulatory proteins, CD46 and CD55, thereby circum...
