Disease relevance of Immunotherapy

 

Psychiatry related information on Immunotherapy

 

High impact information on Immunotherapy

  • This review primarily focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of regulation by CTLA-4 and its manipulation as a strategy for tumor immunotherapy [10].
  • Cancer immunotherapy using interleukin-2 and interleukin-2-activated lymphocytes [11].
  • Immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis [12].
  • RESULTS: Scores for seasonal symptoms and the use of rescue antiallergic medication, which included short courses of prednisolone, remained low after the discontinuation of immunotherapy, and there was no significant difference between patients who continued immunotherapy and those who discontinued it [13].
  • We compared this regimen with immunotherapy using insect venoms or placebo in groups of 20 patients matched for history and sensitivity, as judged by venom skin test, histamine release and IgE antibody to venom [14].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Immunotherapy

 

Biological context of Immunotherapy

  • Self-tolerance to the murine homologue of a tyrosinase-derived melanoma antigen: implications for tumor immunotherapy [20].
  • We conclude that resistance to death receptor-induced apoptosis is crucial for the efficient induction of a protective immune response, and that Bis VIII-based immunotherapies have to be applied under well-controlled conditions to avoid the induction of immune incompetence and the inability to respond to pathogen infection [21].
  • The HSPs have thus become targets for rational anti-cancer drug design: HSP90 inhibitors are currently showing much promise in clinical trials, whereas the increased expression of HSPs in tumors is forming the basis of chaperone-based immunotherapy [22].
  • Whether the inhibition of Th2 responses without concurrent downregulation of Th1 responses will be sufficient for allergic immunotherapy, particularly for atopic dermatitis and asthma, is an important but unresolved issue [23].
  • These derivatives can be engineered to contain relevant T cell epitopes and to maintain those sequence motifs which are required for inducing protective antibody responses and therefore hold great promise for improving allergen-specific immunotherapy [24].
