Study Notes
Cancer Immunotherapy
- Immune cells that can be replenished after antibody treatment is stopped are memory T cells.
Antibody Treatment in Cancer Therapy
- Monoclonal antibodies are used in cancer therapy to block growth factor signaling, targeting specific molecules that promote cancer growth.
CAR-T Cell Therapy
- Adoptive T cell therapy with CAR-T cells involves collecting T cells from a patient, genetically modifying them to produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), expanding the modified cells, and reinfusing them into the patient to target cancer cells.
Strategies for Cancer Immunotherapy
- A main strategy for cancer immunotherapy is targeted therapy, which involves using antibodies or small molecules to block specific molecules that promote cancer growth.
Monoclonal Antibodies in Tumor Immunotherapy
- The purpose of using monoclonal antibodies in tumor immunotherapy is to selectively target and destroy cancer cells while sparing normal cells.
Advances in Cancer Immunotherapy
- Rational design approaches have largely supplanted the initial empirical approaches in cancer immunotherapy, allowing for more precise and effective treatment strategies.
