This book offers essential techniques for producing immunologically active cells, focusing on clinical applications and advancements in adoptive immunotherapy.
In Adoptive Immunotherapy, readers are introduced to a comprehensive collection of optimal techniques designed for the production and characterization of immunologically active cells and effector molecules. These techniques are becoming increasingly important in the clinical treatment of patients, particularly in the realm of cancer therapy. The authors leverage the latest advancements in technology to provide easily reproducible experimental protocols, focusing on key components such as dendritic cells, T cells, monoclonal antibodies, and bone marrow transplantation.
The book emphasizes both preclinical and clinical applications, detailing the progress of selected approaches currently undergoing clinical trials. This focus on real-world application ensures that researchers and clinicians can effectively implement these techniques in their work. Additional chapters delve into the molecular definition of target antigens, offering insights into how mathematical modeling can enhance immunotherapy outcomes. Furthermore, the utilization of regulatory T cells is explored, highlighting their role in the immune response and therapeutic potential.
By providing detailed protocols for studying the adoptive transfer of tailored antigen-specific immune cells, Adoptive Immunotherapy aims to improve the clinical application of adoptive immunotherapy. This authoritative collection not only serves as a valuable resource for researchers but also paves the way for advancements in patient care through innovative immunological techniques.
