Resistance of Cancer Cells to CTL-Mediated Immunotherapy: Resistance to Targeted Anti-Cancer Therapeutics, cartea 7

Editat de Benjamin Bonavida, Salem Chouaib
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2015
This comprehensive volume explores the latest research on the mechanisms of resistance in cancer cells to CTL-mediated immunotherapy. Chapter topics discuss cell-mediated immunity as the result of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) directed specifically against cancer cells. In addition, the volume reviews how CTL mediate the cytotoxic activity, in large part, by the indication of apoptosis; hence, tumor cells develop anti-apoptotic mechanisms and thereby, resist CTL-induced apoptosis. In order for CTL-mediated antitumor immunotherapy to be effective, it is essential that agents directed against the resistant tumor cells sensitized cancer cells for CTL-mediated apoptosis. Examples of such agents discussed in the volume include are HDAC inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, Bcl-2 family inhibitors, PARP, antibodies, and more.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book, written by leading investigators, brings together the latest knowledge about key aspects of the most rapidly progressing fields of tumor escape and tumor resistance to CTL. Readers will benefit from a collection of outstanding surveys that cover some factors regulating resistance to CTL cytotoxicity, the influence of tumor microenvironment, and the resistance to death ligands, mediated apoptosis, and means to reverse resistance. This remarkable volume also emphasizes the future directions that may lead to the design of more innovative, refined,  and integrative immunotherapies to target tumor plasticity and heterogeneity, and help to overcome the inherent limitations of current treatments. By providing a broad scope of innovative concepts in the burgeoning field of cancer biology and immunotherapy, this volume will be of exceptional interest and a valuable reference for scientists, clinicians, health professionals, and biopharmaceutical companies working in the field of cancer immunotherapy.
