Pharmacological combination of nivolumab with dendritic cell vaccines in cancer...
Calmeiro, João; Carrascal, Mylène A.; Tavares, Adriana Ramos; Ferreira, Daniel Alexandre; Gomes, Célia; Cruz, Maria Teresa; Falcão, AmílcarIn the last decade, immunotherapy led to a paradigm shift in the treatment of numerous malignancies. Alongside with monoclonal antibodies blocking programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 and cytotoxic T- lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) immune checkpoints, cell-based approaches such as CAR-T cells and dendritic cell (DC) vaccines have strongly contributed to pushing forward this thrilling field. While initia...
Dendritic Cell Vaccines for Cancer Immunotherapy: The Role of Human Conventiona...
Calmeiro, João; Carrascal, Mylène A.; Tavares, Adriana Ramos; Ferreira, Daniel Alexandre; Gomes, Célia; Falcão, Amílcar; Cruz, Maria TeresaThroughout the last decades, dendritic cell (DC)-based anti-tumor vaccines have proven to be a safe therapeutic approach, although with inconsistent clinical results. The functional limitations of ex vivo monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) commonly used in these therapies are one of the pointed explanations for their lack of robustness. Therefore, a great effort has been made to identify DC subsets with s...
