Tumor vaccines are treatments used for cancer therapy or prevention. Tumor vaccines focus on a specific antigen, a biological molecule, specific to a tumor. A tumor vaccine trains the immune system to elicit a response against that specific antigen thus inducing immunity against cancer.
In line with the role of T cells as critical mediators of the adaptive immune response, recombinational and junctional diversity of the T cell receptor makes each T cell almost entirely uniq...

Understanding the complex interplay between a pathogen and the host response is important to developing effective vaccines and therapeutics. The nCounter® Analysis System and GeoMx®...
Cancer vaccines are increasingly being developed and tested as a cancer treatment and prevention strategy. Designing cancer vaccines is complicated by a number factors including choice of an...
Background: Despite the immunogenicity and safety profile of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines, the importance of vaccine-induced antigen-specific T cell responses is unclear across clinical tria...
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV2), changed the daily life of medical oncologists. To keep safe both patients and healthy workers is the most important...
Recommendations for key factors in testing and diagnosis of H. pylori infections to include information on appropriate patients for H.pylori testing, current testing options, post treatment...
Fecal elastase-1 – a biomarker for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency(EPI) continues to gain traction as an ideal biomarker for assessing EPI. This presentation will include a review of...
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
Inherited disorders affect millions of people globally. These diseases significantly impact lives of patients and their families, and in addition, also results in substantial socio-economic i...
QIAGEN helps your team focus on the opportunities, not the obstacles, with an end-to-end clinical testing solution. During this talk, we will present a lung cancer case study to show how QIAG...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Large-scale sequencing studies have revealed the complex genomic landscape of NSCLC and genomic differences between lun...
Two projects looking at novel approaches to targeting inflammatory breast cancer will be presented. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique, understudied, and most lethal subtype account...
In the past two decades a small number of infrequently dividing cells have been proposed as the source of multi-drug resistance during cancer treatment. These cells identified by their expres...
To date the anatomic extent of tumor (TNM-classification) has been by far the most important factors to predict the prognosis of cancer patients. However, this classification provides limited...
In prior work, we have pursued how tumor reactive monoclonal antibody (mAb), together with activators of innate immune cells, like NK cells, can augment antibody dependent cell-mediated cytot...
Molecular analyses of cancer biology have tended to segregate between a focus on nucleic acids – DNA, RNA and their modifications – and a focus on proteins and protein function. P...
With over 265,000 new cases per year and over 50,000 deaths, breast and ovarian cancers represent a significant health burden in the USA. Prior work has demonstrated that CD4 helper T c...
Room air conditions are hypothermic, hypocapnic and hyperphysioxic from the cells’ point of view. Yet we stress cells with these uncontrolled conditions routinely. It is no wonder that...
