Cancer Vaccines as Immunotherapy of Cancer provides extensive and state-of-the-art information about the meaning, relevance and limitation of therapeutic cancer vaccines. It covers all the aspects involved in the vaccine research and development (identification of optimal target antigens, formulations, delivery strategies, adjuvants among others) as well as their use in combination with other immunomodulatory approaches. The book discusses topics such as identification of tumor associated and specific antigens, proteogenomic for identification of novel target tumor antigens, antigen-specific T cells, and Peptide and RNA based vaccines. Additionally, it covers oncolytic viruses for antigen de...
Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy - Cellular Methods Part A, Volume 631, the latest release in the Methods in Enzymology series, continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. New chapters include Detection of intracellular cytokine production by T cells with flow cytometry, High-throughput identification of human antigen-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells using soluble pMHC multimers, In vitro assays for effector T cell functions and activity of immunostimulatory antibodies, Ex vivo energetic profiling of tumor cells and T cells from mouse models and human samples, A cytofluorimetric assay to evaluate T cell polyfunctionality, and much more.
This book provides a comprehensive update on the state of the art in cancer immunology, which has rapidly evolved from a field of clinical research into an established discipline of oncology. The key recent developments in immuno-oncology are all covered, from the ever-changing immunological and regulatory frameworks to the most promising therapeutic concepts. Themes include combination therapies and personalized medicine, as well as identification of biomarkers to guide the clinical development of new approaches and to pinpoint the optimal treatment for each patient. The book acknowledges the continuing dynamic nature of the field as reflected in the development of next-generation immunotherapies that are already in clinical testing. Cancer Immunotherapy Meets Oncology is dedicated to the lifetime achievements of Christoph Huber, founder and chair of the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT). It is also a tribute to those researchers and clinicians who are striving to develop novel diagnostics and tailored immunotherapies for the benefit of cancer patients.
Since variolation, conventional approaches to vaccine development are based on live-attenuated, inactivated or purified pathogen-derived components. However, effective vaccines against global health threats such as HIV, parasite infections and tumors are difficult to achieve. On the other hand, synthetic vaccines based on immunogenic epitopes offer advantages over traditional vaccines since they are chemically defined antigens free from deleterious effects. Additionally, in contrast to live-attenuated vaccines, they do not revert to virulence in immunocompromised subjects, and different from genetic vaccines, they do not involve ethical questions. Traditional vaccines contain PAMPs and induc...

This book provides an interesting snapshot of recent advances in the field of single molecule nanosensing. The ability to sense single molecules, and to precisely monitor and control their motion is crucial to build a microscopic understanding of key processes in nature, from protein folding to chemical reactions. Recently a range of new techniques have been developed that allow single molecule sensing and control without the use of fluorescent labels. This volume provides an overview of recent advances that take advantage of micro- and nanoscale sensing technologies and provide the prospect for rapid future progress. The book endeavors to provide basic introductions to key techniques, recent research highlights, and an outlook on big challenges in the field and where it will go in future. It is a valuable contribution to the field of single molecule nanosensing and it will be of great interest to graduates and researchers working in this topic.
