Natural killer (NK) cells are another immune cell type that, as the name suggests, also have potent cell-killing activity, and have a well-known role in the anti-tumour immune response. In the context of a tumour microenvironment, Tregs are often present in high numbers, preventing an effective immune response to the tumour.

25, 2021 — Giving melanoma patients a “personalized” vaccine can prompt an anti-tumor immune response that lasts for years, an early study finds. But it builds on earlier work showing it is possible to spur the immune system to respond to an individual’s unique tumor. MONDAY, Jan. 21 in Nature Medicine.

A new, large-scale reference created by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard could help scientists and clinicians better understand the role of cytokines in health and disease. The reference, called the Immune Dictionary , appears today in Nature. For many immune-mediated diseases, there's no cure or treatment.

To be therapeutically useful, antigenic peptides must be presented in a way that allows immune responses to destroy cancer cells without causing unacceptable damage to healthy tissue. Therefore, therapeutically useful tumour antigens represent a tiny fraction of the genes expressed by a tumour cell.

However, if the immune system malfunctions, it can attack healthy cells, tissues and organs. Researchers are aware of more than 80 diseases that occur when the immune system attacks the body’s own organs, tissues and cells. The human monoclonal antibody targets specific immune plasma cells. It may be life-threatening.
