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.
