Breast cancer cell-derived GM-CSF licenses regulatory Th2 induction by plasmacytoid pre-dendritic cells in aggressive disease subtypes

Reciprocal interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment vitally impact tumor progression. In this study, we show that GM-CSF produced by primary breast tumor cells induced the activation of plasmacytoid pre-dendritic cells (pDC), a cell ...

Pharmacological inhibition of {beta}3 integrin reduces the inflammatory toxicities caused by oncolytic adenovirus without compromising anticancer activity.

Adenoviruses have been clinically tested as anti-cancer therapies but their utility has been severely limited by rapid, systemic cytokine release and consequent inflammatory toxicity. Here we describe a new approach to tackling these dangerous side eff...

Non-invasive imaging of tumor PD-L1 expression using radiolabeled anti-PD-L1 antibodies

Antibodies that block the interaction between programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and PD-1 have shown impressive anti-tumor activity. Patients with tumors expressing PD-L1 are most likely to respond to this treatment. The aim of our study was to develop ...
