Regulation of Anti-tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer by Interaction of Exosome Immune Complexes with Fc gamma Receptors
DownloadSpring 2019
Targeted therapy is difficult for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to lack of conserved tumor associated antigens (TAA). Immunotherapies for CRC directed at TAA that can overcome intestinal tolerance need to be developed to improve survival of CRC patients. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted...

Teleosts rely on innate immunity to protect themselves from pathogens. Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and its cognate receptor CSF-1R control survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of macrophages. Recently, a novel soluble form of CSF-1R (sCSF-1R) was identified in goldfish....

Fungal pathogens are recognized by Dectin-1, a pattern recognition receptor expressed on mammalian innate immune cells. Dectin-1 detects β-glucans, which are polymers of glucose that are a main component of the fungal cell wall. While purified, soluble β-glucans have been used in the clinic as...

The adaptive immune response against intracellular pathogens is largely mediated by CD8+ T lymphocytes. The clonal expansion and expression of cytolytic and immune stimulatory proteins by CD8+ T cells is responsible for their protective immune function. Prior to exhibiting effector activity,...
