  2. 1. Mechanisms for immune escape in epithelial ovarian cancer

    Author : Pernilla Israelsson; Ulrika Ottander; Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Eva Lundin; Ivan Nagaev; Karin Sundfeldt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human; ovarian cancer; high-grade serous cancer; EOC; HGSC; HGSOC; tumor microenvironment; immune escape; immune suppression; cytokines; exosomes; NKG2D; MICA B; ULBP1-3; DNAM-1; surgery; obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Tumors develop mechanisms to subvert the immune system, constituting immune escape. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the deadliest of all gynecological malignancies, uses a variety of mechanisms to undermine immune surveillance, aiding its establishment and metastatic spreading.

  4. 2. Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines Targeting Molecules Associated with Tumor Angiogenesis

    Author : Julia Femel; Anna-Karin Olsson; Grietje (Ingrid) Molema; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tumor; therapeutic; cancer vaccine; angiogenesis; vasculature; fibronectin; galectin-1; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap; Biomedical Laboratory Science; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Induction of an endogenous antibody response by therapeutic vaccination could provide an alternative to cost-intensive monoclonal antibody-based treatments for cancer. Since the target of a cancer vaccine will most likely be a self-antigen, self-tolerance of the immune system must be circumvented. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immune modulation in serous epithelial ovarian cancer : focus on the role of tumor-derived exosomes

    Author : Alireza Labani Motlagh; Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Ola Winqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; EOC; HGSC; exosomes; NKG2D; MICA B; ULBP; DNAM-1; PVR; nectin-2; lncRNAs; immune suppression; anti-tumor immunity; NK-cell cytotoxicity; cytokines; Th1; Th2; T regulatory response; inflammation; tumor microenvironment;

    Abstract : Serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a potent suppressor of the immune defense. Here, we studied interactions between EOC and the immune system that lead to escape from tumor immune surveillance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immunological recognition and tumor escape mechanisms of ovarian carcinoma

    Author : Håkan Norell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tumor immunology; Immune escape; Antitumor immunity; Ovarian carcinoma; NK cells; HLA class 1; LOH; IFN-γ; CTL; HLA-G; HLA-E; Activating receptors; NK cell-based therapy;

    Abstract : Ovarian carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer mortality and there is an urgent need for new and better therapeutic modalities that result in improved long-term outcome for this severe malignancy. One promising treatment modality for patients suffering from ovarian carcinoma is immunotherapy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of immune escape : implications for immunotherapy against cancer

    Author : Karl-Johan Malmberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tumor Immunology; Immune escape; NK receptors; T lymphocytes; Oxidative stress; Vitamin E;

    Abstract : Tumor cells can be recognized and killed by cytotoxic T cells specific for certain tumor antigens. Immune mediated selection pressure along with genetic instability of tumor cells result in a growth advantage of tumor cells that acquire a less immunogenic phenotype. READ MORE
