A number of immunologic interventions, both passive and active, can be directed against tumor cells. In passive immunotherapy, specific effector cells are directly infused and are not induced or expanded within the patient. Active cellular immunity can be induced targeting specific well-defined antigens, and several techniques can be used to stimulate a host response. Early attempts to apply these techniques to cancer immunotherapy were not very successful due to the innate immune checkpoint system designed to prevent immune attack on autologous cells. In recent years, researchers have begun to overcome this challenge. |
