Like other bispecific antibodies, and unlike ordinary monoclonal antibodies, BiTEs form a link between T cells and tumor cells. This causes T cells to exert cytotoxic activity on tumor cells by producing proteins like perforin and granzymes, independently of the presence of MHC I or co-stimulatory molecules.
2014 – A second class of immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1) is approved by the FDA for the treatment of melanoma. Pembrolizumab and nivolumab are approved within months of each other. 2016 – The role of dendritic cell expressed CTLA-4 in Th immune polarization is first described
(It) is a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system,” according to the American Cancer Society. “B-cell lymphomas make up most (about 85%) of ...
Epidermotropism (lymphocytes residing in the epidermis) [6] by neoplastic CD4+ lymphocytes with the formation of Pautrier's microabscesses is the hallmark sign of the disease.
