41. Tumor Antigens Recognized by T Cells and Antibodies

    Edited by Hans J Stauss, Yutaka Kawakami, Giorgio Parmiani

    Recent progress in fundamental tumor immunology has led to immunotherapy trials in patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies. In the past, immunotherapy approaches were primarily based on enhancement of tumor immunity with cytokines and adjuvant therapy, without knowledge of...

42. Mechanisms of Tumor Escape from the Immune Response

    Edited by A Ochoa

    The progressive growth of a malignant tumor is accompanied by a decline in the immune response, through mechanisms that have, until recently, been poorly understood. The new era of biological therapies, including cytokines, adoptive transfer of TIL cells, gene therapy and others, brought forth the...

45. Immunology of Ocular Tumors

    Edited by M. Jager, B.R. Ksander, M. Zierhut

    The eye and the ocular adnexa may give rise to over three hundred histologically different tumors - by far the largest tumor variety of the human body. However, the immunological behavior of these tumors has only been explored in some cases, although it is well established that the eye is an...
